I had the Tablet to hand this morning while Husb was doing his exercises so I did a quick scribble. It’s a real challenge to draw someone who’s moving fast,you have to concentrate on the general outline and main features,there’s no time to get any details down. It becomes a bit of a mass ofContinue reading “Quick Exercise”

Attilla The Hunny
Went to visit relatives today and did a scribble of the family dog, Attilla the Hunny. She’s very large and boisterous, which is where the Attilla bit comes from and Hunny because she’s a real sweetie. She did not like being drawn because I had to stare hard at her. My kitties LOVE posing whileContinue reading “Attilla The Hunny”
Digital Feet
Today’s been one of those days which is mostly admin. That’s the reality for anyone who’s self employed. It’s not sitting around all day doing creative stuff. I wish. So I really didn’t want to do any drawing today but I set myself the target to draw daily and draw I must. And the easiestContinue reading “Digital Feet”
In the early hours……
Another bout of insomnia so I grabbed my little black sketchbook and scribbled away at Husb while he slept. It didn’t get me off to sleep but I had a chance to sketch him from an unflattering angle. Drawn with white conte crayon into a Daler Rowney spiral bound black sketchbook.
Sleepless In Swansea
I’m a lifelong insomniac, so this morning at around 5am I thought I might as well use my sleeplessness productively and grabbed a sketchbook from the side of the bed, a black Daler Rowney spiral bound A5, and using a white conte crayon, I scribbled Husb. He could sleep through anything.
Two years and 700 Posts

Here is the very first blog I published two years and 700 posts ago. Thank you for sticking with me andContinue reading “Two years and 700 Posts”
Time For Bed
Had one of those days. Locked myself out of the house this morning, did my admin volunteering at Swansea Print Workshop all afternoon and then went down to the allotment to dig – dug up my garlic. Then I came home and hadn’t done any drawing today so here’s a quickie of Husb at hisContinue reading “Time For Bed”
Desperate Drawing
You know I’m desperate when I blog a drawing of my feet. It means it’s the end of the day, I haven’t done any drawings in my sketchbook, I’m sat in front of the telly feeling guilty because I haven’t done any drawing but I can’t be bothered to move. So I grab my sketchbookContinue reading “Desperate Drawing”
Art Here!
I’m in a group exhibition in Bath next week (Commensalis) and we needed a banner so I painted one. Here it is. Does what it says on the tin. Then, I went with Husb and Maminlaw to Ikea, I love that place. Bought lots of frames and some smoked salmon. On the way back IContinue reading “Art Here!”
Zantedeschia Aethiopica
….or the Arum Lily. I have a clump of them in my little wildlife pond in the garden and as it was such a glorious afternoon, I popped out and sketched for 10 minutes or so. I don’t like being out longer becaue I’m a gingery Celt and burn in the sun. I haveContinue reading “Zantedeschia Aethiopica”
