Another little sketch from Sunday. I spent an hour walking and sketching very quietly, almost meditatively. I’ve often scribbled in public but very quick and opportunistic, so it’s very different to walk slowly and draw with such focus over a period of time. I’m enjoying it and I’m also getting a greater depth of observation.Continue reading “Almost Meditative”

More Tiny Scribbling
Here’s another little scribble I did en plein air yesterday, walking around the Waun Wen area of Swansea. I’m doing it for a reason but I can’t say just yet, soon though …. My lovely nephew (in the middle) along with these other wonderful young people have benefitted from the Children In Need charity andContinue reading “More Tiny Scribbling”
Monday Video: Drawing In Public
I’ve been browsing my YouTube channel and I’d forgotten a lot of the stuff on there, especially the earlier films. So I thought I’d spend the next few Mondays posting some of my art videos. Husb is the tecchie filmie person in the household and he puts these short films together. This is created fromContinue reading “Monday Video: Drawing In Public”
Little Scribbles At The Same Time
I went out sketching today, for one hour precisely, at the same time as last week. I’m working on a new art project but I can’t go into any details yet ….. watch this space. I’m making quick little sketches en plein air into a new pocket sketchbook. This will develop into a substantial amountContinue reading “Little Scribbles At The Same Time”
No Life Drawing Tonight
I’m usually at life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop on Thursday nights, but Husb and I are isolating at the moment, waiting for the result of a Covid19 test as we’ve been in close contact with someone who has tested positive. So here’s another couple of little en plein air sketches from my new pocketContinue reading “No Life Drawing Tonight”
More Strolling And Scribbling
Here’s another couple of pages from my recently started pocket sketchbook, strolling the streets, scribbling on Sunday. Ooooh get that alliteration! I’m just walking and looking at the moment, jotting down sketches and notes of anything that catches my interest. Let’s see where this takes me …… My lovely nephew (in the middle) along withContinue reading “More Strolling And Scribbling”
My New Sketchbook
I took my new pocket sketchbook out for it’s first outing yesterday and walked, sketching as I went. I want to get back in the habit of drawing in the street, en plein air. I used to do loads but the Covid19 lockdown put a stop to that. I want to spend some time walkingContinue reading “My New Sketchbook”
Monday Video: Epic Scenery In 36 Seconds
I’ve been browsing my YouTube channel and I’d forgotten a lot of the stuff on there, especially the earlier films. So I thought I’d spend the next few Mondays posting some of my art videos. Husb is the tecchie filmie person in the household and he puts these short films together. This is me sittingContinue reading “Monday Video: Epic Scenery In 36 Seconds”
Scribbling In The Wind
Nice day so went for a walk out of the city, along the Pennard Pill valley route to Three Cliffs Bay. It was cloudy and very windy so I only stopped to do a quick scribble, with Daler Rowney soft pastels onto Khadi paper. There’s a stone spiral, called by locals “the labyrinth” where theContinue reading “Scribbling In The Wind”
Giving It A Go
It’s almost half a century since I rocked up, in flares and platforms, at the Foundation Course in Swansea Art School, determined to be a painter. Then I did the module in printmaking and retired my paintbrushes. Until the pandemic lockdown started in Spring last year. We were only allowed out of the house forContinue reading “Giving It A Go”
