Sunshine all day – yaayyy Summer at last. ‘The Industrial Valley’ is the theme for an exhibition coming up in the Autumn for members of Swansea Print Workshop. Some of us are organising a series of drawing days to do preliminary studies for this and today a small group of printmakers went up the Dulais Valley to the National Trust site at Aberdulais Falls, one of the first areas to be developed during the Industrial Revolution. I normally run a mile from doing landscapes but I need to push out of my comfort zone and stop being lazy. Two ink sketches in my A5 cloth-bound sketchbook and a piece in oilbars, onto A2 stretched paper prepared with multi-coloured washes of acrylic paint.

I'm an artist / printmaker / scribbler. I love drawing and all the geeky stuff associated with printmaking, working in a figurative style. I live in Wales with husband and demented cats. And my real name is Rose Davies :D View more posts

You capture structures and landscapes so well, no one would even suspect you try to run from the experience. They are lovely! 🙂
Thank you, I have to work hard at it, it’s easier to draw people 🙂
I love the clarity of your work.
Thank you 🙂
I love industrial landscapes, especially when nature has won the battle. I love all three of your pieces!
Thank you, it’s a very interesting place 🙂
A couple of the people you’ve drawn look just like buildings!
🙂
