Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all enjoyed the festive period and are raring to get painting and drawing again in 2023. For our January challenge simply share your first artwork of 2023 - I am sure many of you will have completed more than one already!

I’ve done half a dozen this year but only sketchbook scribbles  - I need to get down to some serious stuff… this is mixed media on a Bockingford FatPad 200gsm Rough. This may make an oil painting at some point!

Lovely sketch Alan.  I always enjoy sketches as much as finished paintings.
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

I've got a few scribbles, but nothing completed yet: and my scribbles aren't as good as Alan's, so they'll not be seeing the light of day, thank you muchly!

Back into watercolour after 3 months dabbling in Acrylics & oils.  I forgot how easy it is to make a mistake!  Both foreground and background need tidying.  From a PClark You Tube demonstration.

Have been back to portraits again. Trying “ sight size”. Difficult to organise re space , standing and stepping back and the sitter falling asleep. My first try.

Happy New Year to all of you on POL. Just to keep in touch: a 10 min. sketch starting immediately in ink. This is my first "art-work" of the year. Better and more to come (I hope).

What an industrious lot you are, I have put pencil/pen/brush to paper this WHOLE year!  Lots of good work here.  Must start something tomorrow.
