Went to life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop last night and our model did a great recliner pose. I love drawing foreshortening because I really like weird stuff. Our model, Ben, looks squished in my drawing but I kept checking and measuring so it’s reasonably accurate. Just weird. I used my Samsung Galaxy tablet withContinue reading “Squished Man”

Still Trying….
Just got back from the life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop and I’m still persevering with digital drawing on my Galaxy Tablet. The first pose took about 40 minutes and the head was a quickie, about 10 minutes. I used the Magic Marker app.
Lost!
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!”
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.”
Man On Floor
Does what it says on the tin. A man. On the floor. Just got back from life drawing group this evening, at Swansea Print Workshop, and had a terrific pose to draw, with difficult angles, perspective and foreshortening. Lovely. I’m a bit of a masochistic scribbler. The workshop has strong spotlights that give good chiaroscuroContinue reading “Man On Floor”
Dark Lady
I’ve spent a couple of days cataloguing my work, a task I’ve been putting off for ages. I’ve rediscovered pieces I’d completely forgotten about, like this block print I made some years ago. I went through a phase of cutting nudes in lino and then went off it. I don’t know why. Now I’ve foundContinue reading “Dark Lady”
Late Night Nude
Just got back from life drawing, it’s 10.30 pm and hot and humid. So I’m off to bed. Goodnight.
Overworked
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop (I took a Victoria Sandwich for tea break) and I concentrated on this one long pose. It’s on an A3 canvas sheet, prepared with scribbly oil bar in yellow ochre. I drew with carbon and white oil pastel. It was a nice pose but difficult withContinue reading “Overworked”
The Curate’s Egg
Just got back from this evening’s life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop, which was a bit of a curate’s egg….good in parts. I loosened up with my first drawing, using white conte crayon and a lump of carbon onto a piece of handmade paper that I’d prepared with a dark ink wash. I likeContinue reading “The Curate’s Egg”
Renaissance In Bath
Next week I’m exhibiting some work in Bath with an artist collective, Commensalis. I’m showing a group of drawings and photopolymer plate etchings based on the concept of Rinascere, which is an Italian word meaning ‘to be reborn’ or ‘to revive’. I chose it because I have been deliberately working with Renaissance techniques and materialsContinue reading “Renaissance In Bath”
