Husb and I went on a family visit this evening and I got my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 out to scribble the dog, Attila the Hunny. Of course, as soon as I started drawing her, she started fidgeting and kept turning her back on me. If she’d been a cat, she’d have posed, turningContinue reading “Attila the Hunny”

Punjab Jamming 2
Did some more sketch jamming inspired by the pastel drawings I did during my artist residency at the Zaira Zaka studio in Pakistan in April. The originals were quick sketches I made during a journey between Lahore and Islamabad and were drawn into a white handmade Khadi sketchbook, around 15cms square and quite textured. I’veContinue reading “Punjab Jamming 2”
Up The Mynydd
Husb and I went up Mynydd Betws (Betws Mountain) today to get our regular supply of farmyard manure for the allotment. We had young nephew with us so we stopped a while to look at the gorgeous view and the sheep and lambs. There are a lot of black faced sheep up there. I hadContinue reading “Up The Mynydd”
Action Again
Here’s a couple of pages from my tiny A6 spotty sketchbook. Husb and I were having a cool drink at the rather lovely cafe in Cwmdonkin Park. It’s right by the tennis courts so I did a bit of action scribbling. It’s good practice as I have to focus on what’s fundamental to the figuresContinue reading “Action Again”
New Model (Female Nude )
I worked with a new model at life drawing this week. She is great and looks like she could have modelled for Egon Shiele a hundred years ago. It takes a while to get used to a new model. I usually have to try out different techniques. I drew this with the Markers app onContinue reading “New Model (Female Nude )”
Action!
Went to the beach earlier today to take part in the Fresh West ‘Make Your Mark ‘ public art event. I did some mark making stuff in the sand but unfortunately, after weeks of wonderful sunshine, the weather turned and it was cold and wet. Miserable. But a scribbler must scribble so I did someContinue reading “Action!”
London Calling
Husb and I just got back from a day trip to London, taking in the opening of this year’s Society of Women Artists show at the Mall Gallery, some of the permanent collection at the National Gallery and a visit to Intaglio Printmakers in Southwark for printmaking supplies. We met up with an old friendContinue reading “London Calling”
Punjab Jamming 1
I’m trying something a bit different. Normally I draw from life, but today, instead of scribbling what’s in front of me, I’ve been using my recent pastel sketches from the Pakistani Punjab as a starting point. I’m not trying to copy them, but to use them as inspiration. Like a musician jamming, I suppose. I’veContinue reading “Punjab Jamming 1”
On The Hoof With A Teapot.
Husb and I went for a walk on the beach this evening and I did some sketching on the hoof. It results in wobbly drawings! I used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with a free Markers app while I followed people. They suspected nothing. The sun was setting behind us as we looked outContinue reading “On The Hoof With A Teapot.”
Weird Weobley
I was so blown away by last night’s Midsummer sunset that Husb and I drove out to Weobley Castle on the Gower Peninsula this evening to find another glorious view. It’s so easy to take our landscape and history for granted, I don’t think most of us realise what an exceptional part of the worldContinue reading “Weird Weobley”
