I carried on with a little bit more of my current painting, a nocturne with a fiery figure. I laid some Dioxazine Purple (translucent) onto the Cadmium Orange (opaque) ground with a palette knife and a couple of flat brushes, scraping it to let some of the orange show through.

Mucking About
I did some teaching today, with a group of adults at GS Artists in Swansea as part of their excellent 9to90 Community Arts programme. We did an introduction to charcoal drawing …. and it was MESSY!

Holiday Sketching
Spent a few days in Cumbria this week with very intermittent Internet access, which has been really nice, relaxing. The weather was lovely so I went walking and sketching with my Khadi landscape sketchbook, Inktense blocks and reservoir brush. Here’s a view from Birkrigg Common.
