Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop and I’m a bit out of practice. We had a three week break over the holidays and it was good to get back into the discipline of anatomical study. This post is a bit difficult so I redrew it until I was reasonably happy with it. I like the pose a lot and I will probably develop it into a mixed media piece or a print.
I used a traditional dip pen and Indian ink onto an A4 piece of Bockingford that had been prepared with an acrylic ground in orange.
Husb and I are staying up late tonight because there has been a massive solar storm this week and the Aurora Borealis might reach this far South. So far it’s a very clear night so we might get lucky.

So, did you see anything? We’re socked in with clouds and rain.
no, we had a clear sky but it was just too far south.
Apparently tonight’s the night for the aurora if you’re in Scotland, South Wales or parts of southern England…
Missed us out unfortunately 😦
But what about the cake?? 😀
It went down very well lol
Glad I caught your post, I must look out for the aurora. I saw one here about 14 years ago but have yet to repeat it. Maybe tonight!
Good luck. We had a no-show here
