A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to be invited onto an intensive course in Renaissance drawing, using materials and equipment typical of that era. I couldn’t say anything about it at the time, but now it’s all gone public. The drawings done by the group of artists and students are to beContinue reading “A Renaissance Romp”

Avengers And A Fidget-Free Sprog.
Had a very family filled day yesterday with LOADS of relatives calling, so I made a big batch of Welsh cakes on my griddle. They didn’t last long. They never do! I haven’t done any sketchbook drawings for about a week, so, having agreed to babysit a couple of small relations for the afternoon, weContinue reading “Avengers And A Fidget-Free Sprog.”
Hard Feet And The Best Curryhouse
It’s the end of a tiring week; I’ve had a very productive time in the studio and a good session at the life drawing group, but that means I’ve been on my feet continuously every day and I’m looking forward to some chilling-out time this weekend. We started this evening with a curry at ourContinue reading “Hard Feet And The Best Curryhouse”
Senôr Momento Is Stalking Me!
After yesterday’s encounter with Senôr Momento where I wandered through the city centre with my skirt hem tucked into my tights I resolved to wear trousers today. I put a pair of leggings on and because it was so chilly this morning, wore a pair of loose-fitting, cropped trousers over them. Halfway through the morningContinue reading “Senôr Momento Is Stalking Me!”
Metric mistake for Tenby
Metric mistake for Tenby. This is a new blogger who dips his pen in drollery to lampoon the hitherto innocuous little seaside town of Tenby. Sooooo funny…..
Senor Moment And Still Life
Well, I had my first encounter with Senor Moment today. I walked all the way through the city centre and started climbing the hill to visit my reflexologist and noticed my skirt looked a bit funny. I looked harder and saw that it’s hem was tucked into my tights! NOOOOOO! I haven’t done that sinceContinue reading “Senor Moment And Still Life”
Tenby, Nelson’s original resting place
Very droll commentary from a very tongue-in-cheek blogger. Why does royalty take a dim view of a little Welsh seaside town? Is this really the world’s first sarcastic statue? 🙂 Tenby, Nelson’s original resting place.
Three Stages Of Man
Back to reality after last week’s Renaissance drawing course and ploughing on with a new large drawing in my studio. I had a life drawing in my sketchbook as a starting point and I worked it up on a piece of stretched Fabriano which had been prepared with rabbit skin glue and washes of thinnedContinue reading “Three Stages Of Man”
Too Modern For My Own Good!
So anyway, this is the last I’m going to write about the Renaissance drawing sessions I went to last week. I did this drawing towards the end of Day 2, when I was getting pretty frazzled and tired. The aim was to try and draw as the Renaissance masters did, using mostly materials and equipmentContinue reading “Too Modern For My Own Good!”
The Hard Stuff.
I did a couple of days training in Renaissance drawing techniques last week and day two was taken up with drawung drapery. It was really HARD. Give me a naked body anyday! Renaissance artists tend to draw drapery as if it’s sculpted – I found out why – it often was! They used to dipContinue reading “The Hard Stuff.”
