Walter White AKA Heisenberg

Hi everyone!

I really enjoyed painting on a lager scale with my last painting (Gatsby) 
I loved it so much that I decided to create another huge painting; I am currently working on it; it is of a character in the TV Series 'Breaking Bad', called Heisenberg / Walter White.
I'm really pleased with the progress so far and I am going to continue working on it today.
I am of course videoing my progress :-D
Here is a picture of the work so far, hope you like it...


Check back for the finished piece and video!

**update** progress today:-


Thank you for reading my blog :-)
All the best,

The Great Gatsby - My New Painting!

Hi everyone :-)

I'm super excited to show you my newest painting! I have been wanting to create a bigger piece for quite a while but couldn't find the time so I'm happy I managed to get this done.
The first picture is the artwork in progress, the next is the finished piece. 



Tadaa! I hope you like it. Here is a video of me creating the piece...


I painted this piece in just one evening; I surprised myself at getting such a big artwork done in such a short time.

I was inspired to paint this piece after watching the film 'The Great Gatsby' I loved the film, it was wonderful (just a warning though if you're thinking of seeing it, it's tragically sad!)
I have also read the book, which is written so beautifully. I highly recommend it & it's definitely worth reading the book before the film :-)
I'm looking forward to creating more art and sharing it with you! 
Thank you for reading my blog, 
All the best,

An Inspiring Holiday!





Hi everyone!

It has been quite a while since I last created a blog entry; 
this is because I have been on holiday. I went to Costa Adeje in Tenerife and it was so beautiful there!
I feel very lucky that I got the chance to stay on such a beautiful island and I have come back inspired to create a painting including the different wildlife and flowers of Tenerife. 
(Above is a picture of me soaking up the sun!)

It has also been a while since I have picked up my paintbrushes but I feel ready to create a special art piece. I already have a rough idea of what I would like to do and I’m rather excited to bring it to fruition! 
I am going to start some watercolour paintings tonight as studies for the big piece I am planning so I will be updating my blog soon with the finished pieces! Until then... Here are a few of my holiday snaps so you can see why I'm so inspired! It is a truly beautiful place. I hope you enjoy them! :-)





Thank you for reading my blog, 
All the best;

Something New!


Hey everyone,

I can't believe how fast this year seems to be going. It's already late March. How did that happen!? Anyway, on the arty side of things I have been busy drawing Brigitte Bardot.
It has been quite a tricky one; Probably due to the scale; it is A2 (42.0 by 59.4 cm) which is a pretty big piece (for a graphite drawing anyway!)
I am enjoying drawing it non the less and as usual I am making a video of me creating the piece. I will hopefully have it finished by next week.
Exciting stuff!

Also...I am hoping to create some more colourful pieces in the not too distant future as I have been focusing on my pencil drawings and techniques for quite some time now and I miss my paints! It'll be great to start some new paintings. I'm very excited about that!

Thank you for reading and take care :-)
best wishes,
Allanah Claire

It's January!

Hello peeps!
This is my very first post from 2013! Yey! It feels really good to be updating my blog & I have a new drawing for you!

It's Dexter Morgan (Michael C Hall) from the TV series Dexter. I really enjoyed creating it. I will embed a video in this post of me creating this piece; if you are interested in watching it just click to play.

I am really hoping to create a big painting soon. I have been a bit unwell lately. I keep getting colds and other winter viruses. I am pretty sure I'm on the mend now though so I'm really excited to be getting my brushes out and making new artworks soon! I hope that you are all having a great New Year so far and fingers crossed I will have a nice painting to show you all in my next post :-)
All the best, Allanah Claire
