Sunshine all day – yaayyy Summer at last. ‘The Industrial Valley’ is the theme for an exhibition coming up in the Autumn for members of Swansea Print Workshop. Some of us are organising a series of drawing days to do preliminary studies for this and today a small group of printmakers went up the DulaisContinue reading “Industrial Scribbling”

An Inky Threesome
Had a hard day at Swansea Print Workshop today. It was very busy with 6 printmakers working flat out. I was working with Gayle and Chris developing some 3-colour reduction monotypes. I wanted to get in a bit of portraiture practice, working directly from a simple black and white drawing, while the other two wantedContinue reading “An Inky Threesome”
Kisses And Food Porn
Kissing Paper by Lucy Read is a day and night of drawing shenanigans at The Cove in Swansea. Husb and I went earlier today and got stuck in. We painted our lips with a black goo (I think it was graphite and something….) and kissed in sequence…a piece of sellotape, a piece of tissue andContinue reading “Kisses And Food Porn”
Self Made Watercolor in Tubes
Originally posted on Too Much White Paper:
I’ve been pretty busy the last several days making and tubing a set of watercolors for myself. I had gotten 12 tubes from Daniel Smith recently and I wanted to make one paint for each of them. I can’t guarantee perfect color accuracy from my scanner, but here’s…
Kitty Quickies
Some very quick scribbles, just a few seconds each, of Sparta on the windowsill, poking her head under the curtain watching the dawn chorus with murderous intent. The last one is of Ming, having a stretch on top of the boiler. Scribbled into my tiny little steampunky leather recycled sketchbook, about size A7 using aContinue reading “Kitty Quickies”

Giant Horse Prancing
Here’s the final sketch I did on our Brighton road trip last weekend. Shortly after we left the amazing Silbury Hill on the A4, we spotted the enormous Cherhill White Horse prancing across the hillside. Cue another scribble-stop. It has to be done. I’ve tried to capture the scale of it but it’s hard becauseContinue reading “Giant Horse Prancing”
What’s Inside?
After Husb and I visited Stonehenge on our way back from Brighton at the weekend, we swung North West to travel cross-country past the Avebury prehistoric complex. We drove round a corner and saw Silbury Hill at close quarters. It was jaw-dropping. It’s right by the road and it’s enormous. Makes you wonder what’s insideContinue reading “What’s Inside?”
The Awesome Henge
Driving back from Brighton at the weekend in the sunshine, we travelled cross-country to avoid the hell of the motorway and to appreciate our glorious countryside. We took the A303 past Stonehenge and stopped to do a drawing and some photos. Husb had been before but it was my first visit and it is trulyContinue reading “The Awesome Henge”
Elderflower Scribbles
We stayed with friends just outside Brighton and got up early on Sunday morning to walk up to the cliff top and explore the green lanes for elderflowers. We make elderflower cordial every year but a couple of years ago had a problem getting one of the ingredients. In Boots the Chemist, Husb asked anContinue reading “Elderflower Scribbles”
