After a totally hectic month building up to installing my new solo exhibition in the most excellent Workers Gallery in Ynyshir, I have my life back …. well until tomorrow when I will be drawing some more Baby Boomers. I’m trying to schedule a Baby Boomer drawing day once a week until I finish the 100 thirty-minute portrait sketches that I’ve set as my target.
Here’s one I did in my last Boomer session, a very strong, decisive countenance. I am drawing into my hardbacked, spiral bound A3 size sketchbook with a graphite stick. When I started the series I was using drawing pens, but I think a graphite stick is better suited to 30 minutes as I have to work quickly and freely and drawing pens force me into too much detail.
Tea with me at The Workers Gallery – a chance to see the exhibition with lashings of tea and home-made cakes in the gorgeous Cynon Valley.
There’s more of my art to be seen in my online Gallery in Artfinder. Please click here to visit. Thank you.

PS Love the shows new title!
I am really enjoying these sketches. You are right about the pen ‘asking’ for more details. I’m slways surprised to see how differently I eork in different media.
Oh yes, it’s really enlightening how new ideas get triggered by trying a new medium or technique. We never stop learning or adapting.
