In which I reveal myself to be a London-based artist, mainly of the male nude, and other famous events. No AI here. In fact there’s barely regular I. He/him Tip me: ko-fi.com/peacockpete
Thought I’d give #srilllife a go Of course, this is how I do a still life #watercolourart #watercolors #watercolourstudy #mythology
Why no, I have never seen a bowl before and am completely confounded by them, thanks for noticing! #stilllife is bloody challenging exercise. Well, they all are really #watercolour
Just went on DeviantArt for the first time in years Fucking hell, the dearth of AI slop on there. It’s like a digital interpretation of the Boston Molasses Disaster
I kept coming back to this. “What about the face?” I kept painting details, then lifting them, over and over (Hahnemühle 100% cotton sketchbooks are amazing by the way). Then I thought, so what about the face? The tone and feel is usually more important than the details. I need to remember that.

Just remembered a Gen Z colleague saying they were surprised I’d “heard of Nickleback.” I don’t want to be all ‘kids these days’ but my god…

Attempted something I’ve been very nervous of trying - a #watercolour #masterstudy or #JohnSingerSargent’s ‘Tommies Bathing’ painted in 1918. Always interesting to try these sorts or things to see how artists approach their work. #malenude #homoeroticart #figurestudy
Another sketch from the #watercolour #sketchbook I enjoyed just throwing the paint around with this one, trying not to be too precious about it #malenude #muscularmen #malephysique #gayartist #queerart
I have a piece, ‘Regent’s Canal’ in the London Graphic Centre Art Prize, and would really appreciate a vote on it. All you is state your first name, email and the number if the artwork - 388 Thank you! www.londongraphics.co.uk/peoples-choi...
Experimenting with my husband’s sea salt. Stop it, you filthy blighters!
Milo of Croton was a very silly goose Got himself stuck and couldn’t get loose “I shall split a tree with my bare hands!” Was a buffet for beasts across the land
Keep curtains drawn during the day ☀️ Ot, if you’re like me, go full Nosferatu whenever possible and avoid sunlight as though it came from a massive ball of untamable radiation. #malenude #figurestudy #watercolour #watercolorpainting #gayartist #queerart

Ooh, my #watercolour postcard has been asded to the Winsor & Newton gallery… www.winsornewton.com/pages/global...
Had a chance to get into some really good #watercolour sketchbook practice today. Finished with a study from a time a few years ago when I asked two models to pose in the style of the statue of Menelaus Supporting the Body of Patroclus. #figurestudy #greekmyth #patroclus #watercolorart
A5 #watercolour sketchbook page I think I’m starting to lock in a style, along with the good habits and bad habits that ride alongside it. #figurestudy #maleart #homoeroticart #watercolor
Found the perfect lighting this morning. It just happened to be how the sun hit the lid of my breadbin.
Trying to develop restraint in #watercolour painting to keep things a bit more refined. But I’m a heavy-handed brute of an artist, so it’s a challenge! Featuring @mustacheboi.bsky.social #malenudeart #homoeroticart #figurestudy #menwithmoustaches #malephysique
6” x 8” #watercolour artwork, worked on this evening. Hate to say it, but cotton paper really does make a difference for watercolour. While cheaper stuff is ok for messing about with, I’ve found that for versatility and holding a lot of water cotton paper is ideal. #malenude #homoeroticart
It’s that kind of weather A page from a #watercolour sketchbook based on a session a few years ago #maleart #malenide #malephysique #paintingthenude #gayartists #queerart
