Here’s another of the 30-minute portrait sketches I did yesterday during my drawing day at Swansea Museum. I used Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens into an A5 hardbacked spiral bound sketchbook. I would normally do a number of quick preliminary sketches so it’s quite a challenge to do a decent drawing that is also a reasonable likeness in such a short time. I have another drawing day booked at the museum early in May and I hope to eventually build up a hundred or so of these small portraits over the next few months.

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

Very impressing. The portrait are very expressive. Have a lovely day! 🙂
Thank you 🙂 Hope you are having plenty of sunshine 😀
Yes, I have. 😀
Rosie I think I am missing something. Are these people coming to sit for you or are you making rapid sketches of people who are just passing?
Hi Leonie, I arranged with them beforehand as I specifically wanted people of a certain age, but I did the drawing in public so museum visitors could see portrait drawing in action 😊
Thanks.
Great work I love it! Please check out my blog for great artistic talent!!
