Husb and I were up in Cardiff today in a queue for 3 hours. How very British. I used the time to draw. I started out using a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen, size M, into my A5 Tate Gallery sketchbook, but I didn’t like the results I was getting, too rigid, so I switchedContinue reading “Spotted!”

Dark Expressions
There have been some very high tides for the last couple of days so Husb and I went down to the beach earlier this evening for a look. I took my little hand made Khadi paper sketchbook that I’d prepared with an Indian ink wash, rubbed on with a small natural sponge. I sat inContinue reading “Dark Expressions”
New Life Drawing (Female Nude )
Here’s the other life drawing I did at last night’s session at Swansea Print Workshop. I’m lucky that we have so many opportunities for life drawing in this city, it’s not available everywhere. It’s important for me to be able to practice anatomical drawing, I think it’s an absolutely vital part of my artwork andContinue reading “New Life Drawing (Female Nude )”
New Model, New Head.
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop with a new digital portrait study. This is a new model and I haven’t drawn her before. This drawing took about 20 minutes on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the free Markers app. Here’s a slideshow of the development of the drawing.
Slobbing Out
Here’s a sleepy cat from a sleepy me. Another one of those evenings when I am slobbing out on my comfy chair with Sparta Puss on the stool. So that’s my daily drawing done. I drew this on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the free Markers app.
I Scream Ice Cream
Just a quick one at the end of the evening, a speedy sketch I did at the local ice cream parlour, Joe’s, a landmark for generations of Swansea Jacks, one of the widespread Italian cafés that grew across Wales in the early 20th century. The ice cream is sublime, possibly the best vanilla in theContinue reading “I Scream Ice Cream”
Ugly, Lovely, Swansea
An artblog from collage artist Melanie Ezra which also features some stuff about me and our home town 🙂 Ugly, Lovely, Swansea.
Beach Dog
On the beach. A dog. And its trained monkeys. This afternoon, in glorious Spring weather, walking with Husb and little nephew along the promenade in Swansea Bay. It was beautiful and sunny and I snapped this little group at the water’s edge and scribbled from the drawing this evening with graphite into my A5 TateContinue reading “Beach Dog”
Spring!!!!!!
Has sprung! Husb and I had a long walk around Swansea Bay earlier, it was glorious weather, crisp and sunny. The prom and beach were full of action, cycling, boarding, skating, running, jogging, walking, dog walking. We stopped for a pot of tea at Blackpill Lido and I scribbled this family at a nearbyContinue reading “Spring!!!!!!”
Mindless Telly
What a day. Terrific opening of the new printmaking show at Galerie Simpson earlier. Now I’m shattered and slumped in front of the telly. There isn’t a cat available for sketching, they’re refusing to hang out with the trained monkeys because they’re on the roof bothering magpies, so it’s Husb again. And now, The Voice.Continue reading “Mindless Telly”
