Get out and scribble! Come on. Let’s take over the streets with artists and sketchbooks. I did it this evening, leaving the studio about 10 minutes early and walking down to the city centre to have a scribble. There were loads of people around so it was easy to do some speed sketching. SomeContinue reading “Get Out!”

Scribbling Kittehs
Constant practice is the only way to improve skills; that’s why I draw every day (nearly). It can get a bit boring though, especially on soggy wet Sundays like today when there’s not much incentive to get out and find something to sketch. That’s where the cats come in handy. I find them difficultContinue reading “Scribbling Kittehs”
That! Pesky! Kitteh!
My cat Sparta sometimes hijacks my computer and writes her own blog. This really annoys me because apart from the mucky paw prints on the keyboard, her blogs get about three times as many readers as mine! The CHEEK of it! And she manages to creep into my artwork too. I was working withContinue reading “That! Pesky! Kitteh!”
W. I. P.
Here’s my latest work-in-progress; a manier noir drawing in graphite worked up from a drawing in my sketchbook. I get very dirty doing manier noir drawings and my studio is covered in a fine film of graphite and charcoal – hoovering on Monday then 😦 . This evening I went to the opening ofContinue reading “W. I. P.”
Hard Hats And Hair Dos
Out tonight at the Tapestri arty bar for a gig by Fanny Holm and had a good scribble while I was at it. There were quite a few people with hats and unusual hairdos so I focussed on them. Hats are sooo HARD to draw. Hair is so much easier. Goodnight 🙂
Something completely different…
I do some teaching with people who are clients of our local drug and alcohol treatment service, running a short course in creativity. Today we looked at native Australian art and did some dot paintings. I joined in and this is what I ended up with. Completely different and a very interesting process. WeContinue reading “Something completely different…”
Trying Hard
Sprog-sitting my adolescent great niece today and I get my money’s worth by making her pose for me. I find it very hard to draw kids – they have weird scrunchy faces in big heads (that’ll make me popular LOL) but the only thing to do is try harder and practice, practice, practice. TheContinue reading “Trying Hard”
…The Cats Will Play
Hiya. Sparta Puss here. I’ve managed to get my paws on the Pooter Box again while the fur-less monkeys aren’t paying attention. I’ve been having such fun with one-eyed Ming The Merciless who shares the idiot apes with me. The simian slackers went for a day out yesterday and, well, to paraphrase a well-knownContinue reading “…The Cats Will Play”
A Couple Of Quickies
Husb and I had a grand day out today, with a roadtrip to Nottingham via Hay-on-Wye and Coventry. As we were sightseeing, I didn’t want to spend too much time sketching so I set myself time limits. Nottingham has an amazing geological rock formation that has been there for about 400,000 years. It’s calledContinue reading “A Couple Of Quickies”
