I went to the life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop this evening and did a long,involved digital drawing on my Galaxy Tablet. I’m trying to get to grips with the Magic Marker app. About 5 minutes from the end I accidentally pressed the ‘off’ button and lost it ! So I did a 5Continue reading “Lost!”

Monotypes Across The Pond
I’ve been working with an international collaborative group of artist/printmakers to develop a portrfolio of full-colour monotypes for the Rocky Mountain Printmaking Symposium Biennale in Utah, USA next month. It’s been a good experience to work with such talented artists from Swansea Printmaking Workshop and I’m really excited that these prints are going across theContinue reading “Monotypes Across The Pond”
Window Dressing
Finished the third day of drawing in public at the Creative Bubble shop. It was stimulating to have the space to work on a very large piece with other artists close by. I’m developing some large-scale drawings, overlaying different types of drawing media. This is brown wrapping paper underneath with tracing parchment on top. TheContinue reading “Window Dressing”
My Dogs Are Barking!
I’m working with artgroup 15 Hundred Lives, at the Creative Bubble Shop in Swansea for 3 days. We’re doing our second ‘What Do Artists Do All Day‘ event. I’m doing another big drawing installation. The aim of these events is for the public to be able to see how artists work; how we create anContinue reading “My Dogs Are Barking!”
Keeping On.
I’m keeping on practicing with the digital drawing and took the tablet to life drawing this evening. I’m not sure I like this drawing but doing it has given me a good idea of what the app is capable of. I like the scribbliness of it but the colour palette isn’t good enough. But I’llContinue reading “Keeping On.”
A Murder?
I did a drawing in my sketchbook a couple of months ago of a dead crow that Husb and I found when we were out walking and this week I developed it into a drypoint etching. I scratched the image into a paper drypoint plate and printed with black drypoint oil-based ink, partly onto handmadeContinue reading “A Murder?”
Up @ The Cove IV
I’ve blogged this large drawing once before, when I first did it, but I’m blogging it again because it’s being exhibited in a group show of drawings, ‘Up @ The Cove 4’, curated by Tim Kelly. Here’s a link to The Cove’s Facebook page if you want to see more of the exhibitions there. It’sContinue reading “Up @ The Cove IV”
A Creep Of Tortoises
Here’s a small edition of 6 drypoint intaglio prints I did today, based on a sketch I did recently of Jimmy the tortoise. Apparently the collective noun for tortoises is a ‘creep’. I think it refers to their way of walking; not a slur on their character 🙂 I used a paper drypoint plate, printedContinue reading “A Creep Of Tortoises”
What I Did All Day
For the past two days I’ve been working with other artists in a public artspace doing what we do, making art and letting anyone in to see how we do it. I did a very large drawing on two layers; the background on brown parcel paper and the foreground figures in thick tracing parchment. TheContinue reading “What I Did All Day”
Long Day And Night Of Art
It’s been a long day, doing art. First off, I was with my colleagues from the art collective, 15 Hundred Lives, at the Creative Bubble artspace in Swansea, doing what artists do all day, making art. People usually see art in its finished state, framed and hung on a wall in an intimidatingly white gallery.Continue reading “Long Day And Night Of Art”
