Canine Couture

I spent a lovely afternoon at Galerie Simpson, Swansea’s newest arthouse, helping with the new exhibition which opens tomorrow. And I spent a half hour drawing the delightful gallery puppies, Sonny and Betty, in their couture puppy jackets. The new show features original prints by contemporary artists including Gavin Turk, Jamie Reid and Gary HumeContinue reading “Canine Couture”

End Of The Day

Another long day with little time to draw but the cat, Ming the Merciless is dozing at my feet so it’s another quick cat sketch from me. It’s good practice to draw another species, getting to grips with different anatomy. This is a digital sketch on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the freeContinue reading “End Of The Day”

Northern Head

Here’s the other drawing I did at the life drawing group last night at Swansea Print Workshop. I spent about 35 minutes on this portrait using my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with the free Markers app. I like working with this model, she has a very distinctive face, reminds me of Northern Renaissance paintings.Continue reading “Northern Head”
