Husb and I spent a few hours up a hill cutting down trees with some of our young relatives. The area is quite heavily forested, having been reclaimed from heavy industry during the 1970s after a couple of centuries of pollution. This area was the crucible of the Industrial Revolution and was badly scarred untilContinue reading “Sawing And Scribbling”

In Praise Of Older Women
The last of this week’s life drawings done with my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with the free Markers app. This model is an older woman, I like to work with older models because it challenges our society’s obsession with youth and narrow view of what beauty is.
Another Night, Another Nude
Another female nude from my life drawing session last night. I tried working without the stylus, using my finger instead which gives a nice fuzzy effect.
The Food Chain
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop, working with one of my favourite models, an older woman covered in interesting tattoos based on the food chain.
Speedy Cat
I’ve had a long day behind a computer and Husb and I spent a lovely evening visiting a friend so I only had time to do a very quick sketch for my blog this evening. Here’s Sparta the cat, caught just as she woke up. Don’t think she’s too pleased. Drawn with my Samsung GalaxyContinue reading “Speedy Cat”

Teenager
I did a quick scribble of Teenage Niece this evening. It had to be a quick scribble because she can’t sit still for long. It’s an interesting phase of development. Her face isn’t the scrunched up alien physique of a child but she still has a child-like roundness to her features. I used Faber CastellContinue reading “Teenager”
A Vast Behind
Back at Folly Farm yesterday, I was in the right place at the right time, standing under a fodder bucket in the Giraffe enclosure during feeding time. Rhian the giraffe was eating her scran just a couple of feet above my head! Well, I had to scribble her, didn’t I? Then she turned herContinue reading “A Vast Behind”
Let Sleeping Cats Lie
Especially if they’re lions! Husb and I spent a happy day at Folly Farm near Tenby celebrating a little relative’s birthday. I have mixed feelings about zoos, but this is a nice one with lots of space for the animals and they run a number of conservation programmes. With our species standing at overContinue reading “Let Sleeping Cats Lie”
