More Mountains.

With Husb in The Lake District and there are so many mountains I don’t have to search for them. I’m drawing so many that I could almost do it with my eyes shut!

Husb and I spent a few days in The Lake District, visiting people and enjoying the beauty and quiet of the place. I took my Derwent Inktense blocks, a landscape Khadi sketchbook, a Daler Rowney reservoir brush and sat a while sketching. First off, I did a quick sketch with the Inktense blocks, using themContinue reading “Wet Scribbling.”

Another Hairy Head.

Husb and I went to The Lyric Theatre in Carmarthen last week to see “Operation Julie – A Rock Musical” – it was brilliant. It’s based on a true story that happened in Wales in the 1970s and the audience was mostly – erm – of a certain age – like me and Husb 😀Continue reading “Another Hairy Head.”

The Biggest Bust

Husb and I went along to Carmarthen last Friday evening, to the Lyric Theatre to see Theatr naNog’s new show, Operation Julie – a Rock Musical. It was FANTASTIC! Of course, I had to have a scribble of the audience – with a ballpoint pen into my leatherbound A5 sketchbook. Billed as “Breaking Bad meetsContinue reading “The Biggest Bust”

#Caturday Archives 6

It’s Saturday / Caturday again and here’s an archive kitty drawing. This naughty cat is a very young Sparta Puss and Husb caught her expression perfectly. He used a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with a free drawing app called “Markers”.

Just Some Tweaking

I’ve done a little bit more work on this painted portrait I started a while back. It’s based on sketchbook drawings of my young relative. It’s been quite a learning experience as I’ve only started painting seriously since the Covid19 lockdown started – I’m a printmaker and scribbler. But I’m pleased with the way it’sContinue reading “Just Some Tweaking”

Adding Colour 2

I’m carrying on working into my sketchbooks, developing the drawings in a way I’ve never done before. I used to scribble, turn the page, then forget them. I did a series of sketches a theatrical event about 4 years ago, Now The Hero / Nawr Yr Arwr. The performers / dancers were enveloped in aContinue reading “Adding Colour 2”

Finger Painting Up A Mountain.

I went on a hike up the Brecon Beacons earlier today, a circular walk beginning and ending in Craig y Nos. It was a hefty jaunt and we had a stop for a bite to eat up on the mountain, where I did a bit of sketching with Derwent Inktense blocks onto a heavy KhadiContinue reading “Finger Painting Up A Mountain.”

Adding Colour 1.

More and more I’m going through sketchbooks and working into some of the drawings I did a while back. My sketchbooks tend to be full of spontaneous scribbles and when I’ve done one, I turn the page and forget about it. So lately I’ve started trawling through them to see what turns up. This isContinue reading “Adding Colour 1.”

#StandingStoneSunday 5

It’s #Standingstonesunday again and I’ve been looking through the painting / drawings I did of some of the ancient stone monuments of South Wales a while back. This is the rocking stone of Pontypridd …. and it’s huge! There’s one stone on top of another and when you stand on the top one and jump,Continue reading “#StandingStoneSunday 5”
