Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop, where I worked with a long-standing model, an older man who’s been modelling for us for many years. He’s a great model, so still and comfortable in his poses. I drew onto my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet with a free Markers app. I laidContinue reading “Many Layers Of Scribbles”

Playing Around
I’m planning a new silkscreen print from an original life drawing I did a while back. I want to include chine collé so I thought I’d have a bit of a play on Adobe Photoshop to try out some geometric shapes in different areas of the drawing. It’s a useful tool for doing a quickContinue reading “Playing Around”
Cake And Life Drawing
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. I haven’t been for a while as life has been getting in the way so I made a pineapple upside down cake for our tea break. I drew with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet with a free Markers app, working with white pens overContinue reading “Cake And Life Drawing”
An Extraordinary Face
I know I’ve been banging on about Nawr Yr Arwr / Now The Hero, but it’s a big deal for me and I was beside myself when I went to the official launch last week. There I was , a scruffy urchin from a council estate, hobnobbing with the great and the good in theContinue reading “An Extraordinary Face”
The Ghost
I work a lot with a three-colour monotype technique that produces a full colour unique artwork on a sheet of paper (BFK Rives 250gsm). Then I put a second sheet of paper onto the plate and put it through the press again to take a second print with the ink (Caligo Safe Wash) that’s leftContinue reading “The Ghost”

I worked from one ofContinue reading “It’s All About The Process”
Start At The Beginning
Six months ago I had the privilege of working with my model, David who I’ve been working with for 10 years, the artist Marc Rees and filmmaker George Morris. On the first day I drew David in The Brangwyn Hall, which is an amazing place, built in the 1930s for the magnificent Brangwyn panels. OnContinue reading “Start At The Beginning”
The Lord, The Warrior And The Welsh Cake
It’s been an exciting day. I shook hands with a lord, hung out with a Celtic warrior, sipped tea and ate a Welsh cake in an art deco temple in Swansea, and watched a film about my model and me. Here it is…. I’ve been involved in this expansive art project, Nawr Yr Arwr /Continue reading “The Lord, The Warrior And The Welsh Cake”
Strong Face, Big Character
I sometimes do some portrait practice at life drawing sessions and I had a go at Swansea Print Workshop last night. Our model, an older woman, has such a strong face and a big character which shows through in her expressions. I drew onto my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet with a free MarkersContinue reading “Strong Face, Big Character”
