It’s been such a busy couple of months that it’s literally a case of ticking a box and then straight onto the next thing! Today I organised a slot on the Swansea Plinth, which is a part of the Adain Avion Cultural Olympiad event. I, along with three other artists from the Life Drawing Group based at Swansea Print Workshop, sat on the plinth for two hours and drew. Just drew into our sketchbooks in full view of the general public. I’m a great believer in letting people see artists at work and we had a lot of interest, people stopped and chatted and looked at our work. The two security guards [above] took photos of this drawing on their phones.
You have to be quick, people and seagulls generally don’t hang around, but sometimes you can catch people in conversation, like this Big Issue seller and an elderly man. It was pouring down before I left the house this morning, so I was kitted out in jeans, boots and a mac, but as we all arrived at the plinth at 10am, the rain stopped and the sun came out!!!!! And it stayed like that all day.
I did a load more drawings and I also catalogued the drawings from the other artists and you can view them on Facebook if you like 🙂

Great stuff! I love the Security Guards – which picture did they take a photo of? Of themselves? I didn’t catch any of the Adain Avion stuff unfortunately, although I’ve seen pics online… Glad you didn’t get too wet 😉
Themselves of course lol.
You were certainly lucky with the weather!
Yes we were – but it poured when I was down there earlier today. Spanish Plume apparently
You’re the second person I know having a go on the swansea plinth! Small world 🙂
It is indeed, and getting smaller 🙂
