I posted these sketches on my blog through April 2012. It’s nice looking back at these memories; our niece now all grown up, a visit to see the giraffes in Folly Farm, a windy walk on the beach…

After A Chippy Tea.
I went out this evening after an early chippy tea, to a meeting of an arts group I’m a member of. Of course, I had to have a scribble… There was cheese there. I ate some cheese. In fact, I ate a lot of cheese. Not a good idea after a chippy tea. Now I’mContinue reading “After A Chippy Tea.”
Forest Face: 1
Building on the outline sketch I did yesterday, I worked into it with a large watercolour brush and some home-made walnut ink, thinned with water to give a paler wash. While I tried to suspend any directive thoughts, I held the images of the woodland walk through Ilston, and I just let my hand workContinue reading “Forest Face: 1”
The Faces Emerge.
I grabbed the twigs I picked up from the path on my recent walk at Ilston and some square Khadi paper that I’d “attacked” with some of my home-made walnut ink. I also have a bottle of Indian ink that had dried out over the years but I added some water and left it toContinue reading “The Faces Emerge.”
#Caturday Saturday.
And for this week’s #Caturday, here’s Sparta Puss in Violet and Orange. She’s been very naughty today, leaned across my lap and licked my ice cream, tried to murder me on the stairs (lurking), pooped on the throw that covers her cushion. So today has been a Naughty Tortie Caturday.
A Short Film Of A Drawing.
Here is a short film (made by Husb) of a drawing I did on my recent residency in Germany during the first day in Berlin, before we went to the Atelier Werenzhain.
Lovely Jubbly (Fun With Teaching).
I love adult education. So much fun. I was working with a small group this afternoon in a community garden. I demonstrated the effects you can get with some pieces of plants, acrylic paint and Gelli-Plates. By doing a demo, I get to play with the materials too. Lovely Jubbly.
A Pakistan Journey In Print:1
Way back in 2007 I was lucky to travel to Pakistan for a two-week visit with friends from Wales, Denmark and Pakistan. It was a fantastic journey, the country is so geographically and culturally varied, the people kind and friendly. I sketched as I normally do and when I came back to Wales I workedContinue reading “A Pakistan Journey In Print:1”
Sketchbook Archives: 7
Here’s a selection of sketches I first posted in March 2012, although they weren’t all drawn then. I began blogging in July 2011 to post my sketchbook drawings, so I was picking out examples going back years. These are drawings en plein air. I seemed to do a lot more back then. I think IContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 7”
#Caturday Saturday: The Visitor.
It’s #Caturday and this is a local handsome boi who pops around for a visit every few weeks. He stops by for a chat (he’s very vocal) and receives some snacks before going on his way again. He seems very well cared for, I think he’s just a bit of a wanderer who likes toContinue reading “#Caturday Saturday: The Visitor.”
