Here’s the last drawing I made at the Troublemaker’s Festival last weekend, in the pouring rain, with my fellow Plebeian Scribblers, Chris Harrendence, Patricia McKenna-Jones and Melvyn Williams. Here we are below. The sketchbooks got really wet and I had extra problems because I had stuck ripped brown paper into my book, but the soakingContinue reading “The Last Of The Wet Ones”

Challenging
My sketchbook has finally dried out after the soaking I had with The Plebeian Scribblers last Saturday at the Troublemakers Festival.

It’s beenContinue reading “Challenging”

We got wet. Very wet. So did theContinue reading “Soggy Scribbling”
Like A Loaded Brush
Yesterday I drew in the rain with my fellow Plebeian Scribblers during the Troublemakers arts festival. It was challenging!

The water on the paper turned the graphite into liquid and it flowedContinue reading “Like A Loaded Brush”
