I’m spending a few days in an artspace in the city centre with a fellow artist, we want to work big so we’re basing ourselves in Creative Bubble until the end of the week and doing massive stuff on the walls. I’m working from sketchbook life drawings, in charcoal and chalk on brown wrapping paper.Continue reading “Working BIG”

Gestures On The Beach
I was on the beach in Swansea Bay again earlier, having a walk and a workout on the outdoor gym equipment. I stopped awhile to have a bit of a scribble into my little spotty sketchbook, size A6, with a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen size S. Typically called gesture drawings, these speedy sketches forceContinue reading “Gestures On The Beach”
Silly Slippers
Today has been hectic with visits to Cardiff in the afternoon and Trebanos this evening. Got back home about 10.30 pm so I was straight into my pajamas and silly slippers and that’s what I have sketched into my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the free Markers app. Bedtime now 🙂
Who Wears Short Shorts?
We wear short shorts! It’s summer and everyone on the beach is in shorts. It’s the law lol 🙂 I stopped for a scribble with my tiny spotty A6 sketchbook and a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen size S. There’s Mumbles in the background. The name allegedly comes from the French, Mamelles, or breasts, spottedContinue reading “Who Wears Short Shorts?”
Wrong! Wrong! Not Too Bad!
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. Not had a good time, didn’t take my mojo with me. My first two drawings were clunky and didn’t work at all. So I gave up trying to draw the full figure and focused on his head. It was better. I’ve worked with this model before,Continue reading “Wrong! Wrong! Not Too Bad!”
Scribbling Overlay
Husb was hoovering around the house so I followed him with my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8, scribbling with the free Markers app. He moves fast when he’s doing housework so I had to do speed sketches. It’s a bit cumbersome to keep resetting the little computer box to do new drawings and I didn’tContinue reading “Scribbling Overlay”
Feline Muse
Had another long day behind a computer and ended up sitting in front of the telly quite late with a cat sleeping on my lap. I haven’t done any drawing so far today so the cat will have to be my model. She likes posing. I have used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8, withContinue reading “Feline Muse”
Badly Drawn Man
I’ve been really busy with computer stuff and family doings today and I had to snatch a few minutes to do today’s sketch just now. I bought ‘Game Of Thrones’ earlier and here’s Husb reading it on the settee. It’s huge. A lot of what artists make isn’t very good, that’s why old canvasses haveContinue reading “Badly Drawn Man”
Whinberries On The Beacons
We spent a couple of hours foraging for whinberries on the Brecon Beacons earlier today. Whinberries are a type of blueberry or bilberry and the picking season is very short. I haven’t been out picking them for years and I can’t remember how I cooked them before. Traditionally, they’re baked in a pie. I’ll sleepContinue reading “Whinberries On The Beacons”
Sleepy Pigs And Wonky Ducks
Husb and I spent a happy few hours at Swansea Community Farm today. There was a hog roast, demonstrations of spinning and felt making, live bands, and animals. The critters live pretty free lives and many were wandering around. These sweet spotty piglets were dozing in a shady spot out of the dazzling sunshine. TheyContinue reading “Sleepy Pigs And Wonky Ducks”
