Selling out, but in a good way
This painting, is “Charing Cross Bridge” by the 20th century Fauvist artist Andre Derain. It is part of my fundraiser for LATCH, The Children’s Cancer Charity. I love the colours and the liveliness of this painting. It was a joy to do but as with most paintings by the greats it was surprisingly complex. SinceContinue reading “Selling out, but in a good way”
LATCH, The Children’s Cancer Charity, Painting Fundraiser

Simple Heads No. 1
I get so precious about my art work sometimes to the point where I can hardly do anything so I’m trying to do a simple head a day for a while, see how I get on. Normally I work directly from life but I’m going to work from imagination on these, which is way outContinue reading “Simple Heads No. 1”
Monet In A Minute!

This is one by Claude Monet, the “Cliff At Grainval”. To be honest, it isn’t one of my favourites, but thereContinue reading “Monet In A Minute!”
Stretched Out
Here’s the second 30-minute pose from this week’s life drawing. I prefer to draw reclining poses from the head or feet, to practice foreshortening, but this is the place I was standing so I had to make do with this stretched out pose. I wasn’t too keen to begin with but once I started puttingContinue reading “Stretched Out”
Hard On The Model
Here’s the first of the 30 minute poses from last night’s life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. I used sanguine conte crayon onto vintage paper size A2 – ish.

Walnut Two Ways
I used my home made walnut ink with two different tools at life drawing the other evening. I did the one above with a traditional dip pen, although I used a brush to do the hair and the swirly bits down the bottom. I find dip pens hard to use at first, I always pressContinue reading “Walnut Two Ways”

Today I was cutting lino blocks. That’s all, nothing exciting. Just carving into lino blocks. A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks I have some small screenprints for sale, inspired by my drawings of the taxidermy collection at Swansea Museum. I have given these antique artifacts a modern twist by combining them with imagesContinue reading “Just Carving”
