Baggage!
The lurgi has left me but I’m getting tired very easily and although I had good intentions to go to life drawing this evening, I’m too shattered. So I drew a pile of bags that I’d dumped on the floor instead. I’m so slovenly. I used Pentel V5 and Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens intoContinue reading “Baggage!”
Street Scribbles
This is my equivalent of a singer practicing their scales. It’s what underpins the ‘finished’ pieces that I hang in a gallery. Just mundane, quick, scribbly sketches in real time. It’s only a few minutes work but it keeps me fresh by focussing me on the essence of each figure. It’s not great artContinue reading “Street Scribbles”
An Older Man (male nude)
I like to draw older models because it’s interesting to see how anatomy changes with age. When I’m drawing, I often make mistakes and do a few sketches until I get it reasonably right. Here’s the first attempt (above) with notes about what’s wrong with it. I had another go and was happy with theContinue reading “An Older Man (male nude)”
Comfort Food
As I get over the lurgi, poor Husb goes down with it! He’s been looking after me for the past month and it’s my turn now. He needs comfort food so some home-made chicken and vegetable soup followed by a banana cake with Snickers cream. That’s two Snicker bars, melted with a pot of doubleContinue reading “Comfort Food”
Rhubarb!
My brain’s back! My body works! 4 weeks to the day since I went down with the dreaded lurgi I finally feel well again. Today was lovely and sunny, though cold, so we went down to the allotment, our first visit since November, the weather’s been too awful to do much. We dug up aContinue reading “Rhubarb!”
Higgeldy Piggledy Town
Husb and I took a ride down to the Fountain Fine Art gallery in Llandeilo today to drop off 10 of my etchings for the forthcoming exhibition of emerging Welsh artists, opening on Saturday 23rd February. It’s been a fine, bright day and after so much time spent indoors recently because of the lurgi, itContinue reading “Higgeldy Piggledy Town”
Printing An Etching Plate
I’m getting better each day and I spent half a day at Swansea Print Workshop printing some of my etching plates. I used Intaglio Printmaker’s black etching ink (drypoint shopmix) and BFK Rives 250 gsm paper. I soaked it for about an hour and a half while I prepared some registration sheets and fixed themContinue reading “Printing An Etching Plate”
Reclining Pose
Each day, the lurgi seems a bit weaker and I went to life drawing tonight, for the first time in a month! I only managed an hour but I did some quick pen and ink sketches, using a traditional dip pen and then I used chalky pastels and graphite block (6B) to draw this fabulousContinue reading “Reclining Pose”
Puss ‘n’ Boots
Still nursing the lurgi this morning so I was sat with my legs up on a footstool wearing my cool Magnum HiTec boots. Sparta Psychokitteh came along and stretched herself on top of my snazzy leggings. I’m a scribbler. So I scribbled her. As I was drawing, I drifted off into ‘the zone’. This sortContinue reading “Puss ‘n’ Boots”
