One of the most celebrated of all Hawksmoor's churches, how can one pay tribute in any photo or illustration? Anyway, this is a sketched reaction to the subject. For those of you interested I did not use Adobe Illustrator as I regularly do, this is composed in multiple layers in Photoshop. I have used the geometry of the building and textures to help with the composition.
This is a portrait of Cooper whose arty photograph attracted me, I have done it in blacks, greys blues and white in thick gouache. It reminded me of some of those late Bonnard self portraits so I sort of had that in mind when thinking about how I'd do this one. I like Cooper's illustrations and sketches from the figure and he has amassed a huge catalogue on Flickr. I look forward to seeing what he comes up with when drawing some of Julia Kay's Portrait party participants.
I also like the way that this photo and my drawing of the photo says a lot about modern artists' relationship with the photographic image. If there is a constant in my own work it is working through aspects of this , how much a photograph may influence a drawing or painting and how much of the painted image influences the photograph and how these areas interact with one another.

Nakao Yoshitaka (1911-1994). He was a mostly self-taught printmaker. Yoshitaka is known for using cement-blocks to print his images, a technique characterized by pouring wet cement into hand-made wooden frames and then scoring into the mixture as it dried.
Painting with chopped raw polymer clay.

Pen and ink, working out idea for painting, based on photo. I printed out a gauze of random marks as one gets in some engravings the worked the image up rather like an etching. Far more detailed than many of my drawings of late.Tim is an artist I very much admire, not only for his paintings but also his processed photographs. His work has a very moving quality, gentle yet very sensitive and revealing.

find this by far the most worthwhile art group on Flickr. It seems artists are really working hard to create something unique.

Watercolour, gouache and pen on 140lb paper (some minor touches of photoshop to correct edges).
I liked this photograph of Charlotte, also the people sitting in the coffee house behind her.

Julia looks a little stern in this one, but I tried to use various washed and random marks working against the outlines. No masking fluid (unlike Anne's portrait). I did a version in pink which was just of the face, I may post thgis at some point. I work on four or five pictures at onnce otherwise it is a matter of watching the paint dry. The one thing with watercolour is why does it never look as good dry as it does wet? There were stages when this was wet when the face almost came off the page!
Wtercolour and ink on 140lb paper. Tim's portrait is one of at least three so far, I find I want to paint more than one image perhaps using different tones, each one seems to come out differently from the same material. The watercolour creates lots of accidents, I happily go with this, and like its ink blotty look. Right now I feel that this medium is the best to express these photo prortraits. I think earlier in the year looking at Cezanne helped, although in technique mine are nothing like his. I think the idea of going back to a subject a number of times and getting as much out of it as one can is what I get from that period of study. I have already added more colour and washes to this one.
Gum Arabic and ink on paper.
Although these landscapes appear random, they are in fact in a very long tradition of English watercolour, Cozens often used ink blots to begin a painting.
Cozens executed watercolors in curious atmospherical effects and illusions which had some influence on Thomas Girtin and J.M.W. Turner. Indeed, his work is full of poetry. There is a solemn grandeur in his Alpine views and a sense of vastness, a tender tranquillity and a kind of mystery in most of his paintings, leaving parts in his pictures for the imagination of the spectator to dwell on and search into. John Constable called him "the greatest genius that ever touched landscape." On the other hand, Cozens never departed from his primitive, almost rudimentary, manner of painting, which causes several of his works to look very like colored engravings.
These were initial studies of Norman painted from the photo he posted, I guess I had Chuck Close in mind as well as my recent Cezanne series that I'm still working at. I guess what I'm after is some measure of freedom and an equal measure of control here. I think I'll try this in oil shortly possibly a small portrait under 12x12.
A digital illustration of the Fermor chapel in Somerton Parish Church.This illustration was based on a few photographs I took when I visited in November 2005. The work was drawn in Illustrator and is built up of multiple layers.

These are a few of the Reading people I've observed who will probably populate some of my illustrations. One aspect that seems very important to this group of images are people moving, contrasting with the ruins and old churches. Most of the studies were made early in the morning round about eight o'clock when people were on their way to work. I took lots of snapshot photographs and then started to draw from some of them, these are but a few.

I started with the area around the nose and glasses then sort of span out from there, I think with working from photos there can be a tendency (with me at least) to stick rather closely to the outlines of forms and sometimes one loses the spirit of the photo in certain cases. Anyway I wanted this to be fun.
