When I was travelling around South Wales studying standing stones with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams, I generally worked onto large sheets of prepared paper. But sometimes I travelled light with just a brown paper sketchbook and it gave me a different insight into what I was drawing, I focused more on the decorative aspects of the subject.
This stone is Ty’n Y Selar and it’s sited near the ancient community of Margam in Neath Port Talbot, overlooked by the very busy and noisy M4 motorway. I drew with conte crayons in white, black and sanguine.
