Oooh I really like this little scrap. The brushwork is so much fun. I’ve been using Liquitex Heavy Body acrylics for some years now, although I don’t in fact do a lot of painting. The colours are intense and the thick texture of the paint makes the brushstrokes quite graphic in their own right, dynamicContinue reading “Graphic Brushstrokes”

Good Paint, Good Textures
Here’s another of the little scraps of Bockingford paper (from St. Cuthbert’s Mill) I’ve been colouring with Liquitex Heavy Body acrylic paints, probably to use for collage at some point. But to be honest, the more I look at some of these little scraps, the more I appreciate them as they are. The paint isContinue reading “Good Paint, Good Textures”
Presenting The Picture
I’m painting scraps of paper to use for collage so each piece might end up being ripped apart when it’s finally used, but while I was photographing them and getting them ready to blog, I realised that they just couldn’t be plonked down at random. Each one has a “best side” and I rotated themContinue reading “Presenting The Picture”
Weird Abstraction
I’m making papers for collage work with scraps of Liquitex acrylic paint and Bockingford paper left over from print projects. It’s not easy for me to just randomly scrape paint on like this, I normally work very figuratively and it’s weird to do something abstract. A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks I haveContinue reading “Weird Abstraction”
Squiggles For Collage
I’ve been a bit lethargic because of the Covids and my brain is fuzzy so I’ve just been having a bit of a play with paints and paper, daubing squiggles of Liquitex Heavy Body acrylic paint onto some really lovely scraps of Bockingford paper that I’m hoping to use at some time for collage. TakingContinue reading “Squiggles For Collage”
Scraping And Scribbling
I’m feeling a bit better each day as the Covid19 symptoms are going and I’m getting a bit stronger, and today was the first since the illness started 10 days ago that I’ve been able to think about doing anything remotely arty. Whenever I do a painting, I scrape any leftover acrylic paint onto spareContinue reading “Scraping And Scribbling”
Got The Covids So Here’s A Video
Feeling tired and miserable as I’ve finally been hit with Covid19. The symptoms haven’t been too bad except that I’m exhausted and my brain doesn’t work, so I thought I’d trawl through my YouTube channel (Yes I have one) and post some of my arty videos until I can get doing some proper artwork again.Continue reading “Got The Covids So Here’s A Video”
With Splodges!
Here’s the other quick painting I did when I dropped into University of Wales Trinity Saint Davids (AKA Swansea Art College) yesterday to try my hand at hard edge acrylic painting, using ripped masking tape, spray paint, bubble wrap and a pipette onto paper. I prefer it to the other one, there’s more going on.Continue reading “With Splodges!”
An Open Mind.
I dropped in to University of Wales Trinity Saint Davids, or as I still call it, Swansea Art College, this afternoon for a practice session doing hard edge acrylic painting. I haven’t done anything like this before, it was fun. I used ripped masking tape and spray paint onto canvas. I’ve never used spray paintContinue reading “An Open Mind.”
Blwyddyn Newydd Dda : Happy New Year
Here’s Sparta Puss being very seasonal with a little fake Monet I did a while back – it’s called “The Magpie”. Sparta Puss hates magpies. They come and nest in the tree next door every year, I think it might be the same pair, I don’t know how long they live. They pick stones outContinue reading “Blwyddyn Newydd Dda : Happy New Year”
