Look What I’ve Got!
Look what I’ve got! Ner nerner ner ner! 😛 Husb and I did a road trip up to Ynyshir in The Rhondda Valley today and bought this gorgeous Victorian book press off the charming Mike. I’ll use it for lino and wood block prints. I don’t know the make or date of manufacture so ifContinue reading “Look What I’ve Got!”

Three’s A Crowd
I often go along to demonstrations, vigils, protests partly because they often reflect my own views but also because it’s a good opportunity to draw people in groups, crowds, in relation to each other and to their surroundings, in action and in repose. Lots of different things to draw, good practice. Of course, you can’tContinue reading “Three’s A Crowd”

The Solstice Sunset
My second drawing done at solstice sunset on Mynydd Llangyndeyrn Mountain in Carmarthenshire using Daler Rowney soft pastels onto prepared canvas sheet. It was lovely being up the mountain at night after the searing heatwave of the past few days. The standing stones were eerie and ethereal against the solstice sunset. The stone circleContinue reading “The Solstice Sunset”
Saturated Sunset
I went to Mynydd Llangynydeyrn Mountain yesterday evening with prehistorian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams to check out the Solstice sunset over the stone circle there. I know that Solstice is this evening, but we were hedging our bets in case there was cloud today. I worked onto a pre-used canvas sheetContinue reading “Saturated Sunset”
Face And Foxgloves
I went on a training day in recording social history and of course, I found a few minutes for scribbling. Things like courses and lectures are great because people are so absorbed that they tend to keep fairly still, which is a boon when you’re having a scribble. I also went for a walk toContinue reading “Face And Foxgloves”
Hands Off!
Hands Off Oriel Ceri Richards! The slogan behind the protest at Swansea University earlier today, against the imminent closure of this established and popular gallery on the campus. I had to have a scribble of course. I love to draw en plein air and I used white, sanguine and black conté crayons into my A4Continue reading “Hands Off!”
