All artworks have a starting point and this is where my next few drawings start their gestation. I’ve had some beautiful A2 vintage Saunders paper for a while, not knowing what to do with it. So today I took a cheap window cleaning squeegee and scraped some black acrylic screen printing medium over some ofContinue reading “Getting Started”

Not Flattering
I need to draw every day, and Husb often ends up as my long suffering model. We stepped out for a walk earlier and before we knew it, we covered 8k. When we got back, Husb changed into his dressing gown and slippers and crashed out on the settee, channel hopping. I had a quickContinue reading “Not Flattering”
Another Dark Room
I carried on drawing in a darkened room with my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 this evening. I liked what I did yesterday, so I kept to drawing on top of a dark ground with white and touches of other colours. Husb and I have been making the most of the good weather to workContinue reading “Another Dark Room”
My Dark Room
I went to bed a bit earlier to try and catch up with sleep after all the insomnia I’ve had recently, then remembered that I hadn’t done a drawing. So I scribbled the corner of my darkened bedroom on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the free Markers app. Good night ☺
Alien And The Castle
Back to work today after a couple of weeks off, so Husb and I fitted in a visit to our allotment after work. I enjoy digging and it was a lovely evening after a terrible start to the day, it was pouring down this morning. Our allotment is behind Oystermouth Castle in Mumbles and thisContinue reading “Alien And The Castle”
Corpsed And Aching
Another nice day so Husb and I took ourselves down to the beach for a workout on the free Trim Gym. Now I’m corpsed! So’s Husb. I’m slumped in a chair, he’s lolling on the settee. Perfect pose. I scribbled him on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with a free Markers app. I acheContinue reading “Corpsed And Aching”
One Eyed Ming
This is Ming the Merciless, our one eyed rescue kitteh. We love her very much. She often poses for me when I cannot be bothered to get up from my comfy chair on a grey, wet, miserable evening. Like now. It’s that dense grey drizzle that so often puts the dampener on Welsh summers. ButContinue reading “One Eyed Ming”
Funny Old Day
It’s been one of those bleurgh days that feel like nothing’s been done, although when you add it up, it’s not such a waste of space after all. Husb and I have been foraging for blackberries for the past couple of weeks, apparently it’s a bumper year, and we’ve made a fair bit of brambleContinue reading “Funny Old Day”
I’m A Little Teapot….
….short and stout. ….and a bit wonky! Today’s sketch is practice. People, animals and cityscapes are my comfort zone but practice should take me out of that so I am going to do some simple still life studies. I don’t like it. There’s not much wriggle room in drawing objects. Never mind. I drew thisContinue reading “I’m A Little Teapot….”
Felafels And Rain
I’ve spent a long day hunched over a computer, from 9 am to 7.30 this evening, doing business stuff. I was hoping to have a workout on the gym on the beach but the heavens opened this evening and I wimped out. I did a bit of yoga in the living room and watched tellyContinue reading “Felafels And Rain”
