A housefront near the centre of West Kirby. Brushpens and watercolour in wc sketchbook. The pens misbehaved in this new book, and the sun burned my neck. Par for the course. 🙃

The watercolor painting depicts a group of silhouetted figures walking against a dramatic, smoky sky, with a dark, ominous shape looming overhead. The style suggests a scene of conflict or aftermath, rendered with loose washes and expressive brushstrokes.

No, it's not a sleeping hedgehog; rather, an inkblot from my ageing platinum deskpen whose nib occasionally blurts out something inappropriate. At some other times it refuses to provide ink at all. Sigh. My preferred pen, but irreplaceable/end-of-line AFAIK. #UrbanSketching #sketching #ink

Red-breasted nuthatch. Coloured pencil on cotton paper. I used several of my own photos for reference but want to thank Linda MacMillan for the use of her nuthatch photo which gave me details that mine lacked! #Birds #SciArt #WildlifeArt

Nah, it's a crack in Reality, man. These are usually covered up pretty sharpish by you-know-who, so you were damned lucky to see it. Or just damned. Time will tell

Recently got this stillman & birn zeta series #sketchbook in A4. Can't recommend it enough, fantastic heavy weight paper. I've only done a little bit of light washes so far but it feels like it'll handle full water colour

Unfinished coloured pencil drawing of a grey and blue bird with red eyes and a blue and yellow beak. The bird is perched on one branch, with a second branch in the background.

I always forget how long it takes to draw the branches …

Scientists crack what they say is the perfect way to boil an egg Linda Geddes tests new approach developed in Italian lab that involves alternating egg between different temperatures

how many scientists or chefs (or reporters) does it take to ruin an egg?

This article certainly cracked me up:

Hint: don't try this at home
