Some more life drawings from the session at the National Waterfron Museum last Sunday. The first is a five minute pose, getting in the basic elements that make it recognisable and then just enough time to start on something more complex, some shadows, highlights and slightly more complicated linework from the one- and two-minute posesContinue reading “A Short One, A Long One (life drawings)”

A Pair Of Posers
After a few one and two-minute poses at the special life drawing session at the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea last weekend, we moved out of the chilly new ‘Graft’ garden and into the museum where the life models posed for five minutes in pairs. That was far harder to draw than a single person because, wellContinue reading “A Pair Of Posers”
Another Chilly One
Here’s another one-minute pose I did last weekend at the special life drawing session at the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea, drawn outside in the open air in the new ‘Graft’ garden: CHILLY! Life models are stalwarts, so important to an artist’s practice and rarely acknowledged for the work they do. It isn’t easy. The drawing eventContinue reading “Another Chilly One”
Chilly!
Had such a lovely evening, doing life drawing at the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea. The event is part of the Now The Hero / Nawr Yr Arwr arts festival happening over the coming week. There was a large group of artists and five life models and we started out in the ‘Graft’ garden, withContinue reading “Chilly!”

Inspired by the work of Frank Brangwyn and Kathe Kollwitz, the show focusses on the work of threeContinue reading “Art, Cake, Cake, Art”
Mad Mari
So as well as working on a copper mezzotint plate at Andrew Baldwin’s weekend course at Trefeglwys Studios last weekend, there was also time to prepare an aluminium plate with coffee lift and spit bite. I used another of my drawings of the traditional Welsh Mari Lwyd from one of my sketchbooks. The Mari LwydContinue reading “Mad Mari”
Exhausted But Happy!
Just back from a very tiring weekend printmaking course at Trefeglwys Print Studio. It was fantastic. I learned so much and came away with a number of prints I’d be happy to exhibit and two new etching plates to edition and an etching plate to work on and finish. Result. I’m shattered now though. TheContinue reading “Exhausted But Happy!”
Another Face In The Crowd….
Here’s another face in the crowd who got scribbled. I can’t help myself. Leave a bit of paper and a pencil on the table in front of me and this is what happens….
Marc, Frank And Victoria (Sandwich)
I’m back in the house for about 20 minutes between hearing the marvellous artist Marc Rees give a talk at the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery about his upcoming art extravaganza “Now The Hero / Nawr Yr Arwr” and heading off to life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tabletContinue reading “Marc, Frank And Victoria (Sandwich)”
A Face In The Crowd
I spent a couple of days in London at a conference and there were a few opportunities during breaks for a quick scribble of faces in the crowd. I did this in about 5 minutes using an HB pencil onto the conference notepaper.
