Carrying on with studying the head, I did a couple more drawings from the Burne Hogarth book, ‘Dynamic Anatomy’ then I pressganged Husb into posing again. I continued to work in greys and white over a black ground, using mostly a large soft brush in the Markers app on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8.Continue reading “Another Day, Another Head.”

Black And White
Had a long day starting with the fabulous Uplands Market this morning then an exciting trip to Llanelli to buy jam pot covers because there don’t seem to be any on sale in Swansea followed by a workout on the beach at the open air gym and then up to the opening of the newContinue reading “Black And White”
Beer Bellies, Budgie Smugglers And Moobs
It’s a heatwave. The temperature is in the upper 20s which means that British men flock to the beaches and strip off as much as they can get away with and still stay legal. I’m working in my Daler Rowney A sketchbook with a Derwent sketching pencil size 4B. So much male flesh on show,Continue reading “Beer Bellies, Budgie Smugglers And Moobs”
50 Shades Of Pink!
What is it about we pale skinned Brits that whenever the temperature rises to anything hotter than lukewarm, we strip off as many clothes as we can legally get away with and broil ourselves under the hot sun? I went for a stroll on Swansea Beach this afternoon and it was pretty full of peopleContinue reading “50 Shades Of Pink!”
A Happy Accident
Husb and I spent most of today down the allotment, digging, harvesting, weeding, laying slabs, pruning, watering. It was boiling hot and we’re shattered. A hot bath with Epsom Salts helped to ease the aches. I wasn’t in the mood to do any drawing but I’ve set myself the goal of drawing every day soContinue reading “A Happy Accident”
Gestures On The Beach
I was on the beach in Swansea Bay again earlier, having a walk and a workout on the outdoor gym equipment. I stopped awhile to have a bit of a scribble into my little spotty sketchbook, size A6, with a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen size S. Typically called gesture drawings, these speedy sketches forceContinue reading “Gestures On The Beach”
Who Wears Short Shorts?
We wear short shorts! It’s summer and everyone on the beach is in shorts. It’s the law lol 🙂 I stopped for a scribble with my tiny spotty A6 sketchbook and a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen size S. There’s Mumbles in the background. The name allegedly comes from the French, Mamelles, or breasts, spottedContinue reading “Who Wears Short Shorts?”
Scribbling Overlay
Husb was hoovering around the house so I followed him with my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8, scribbling with the free Markers app. He moves fast when he’s doing housework so I had to do speed sketches. It’s a bit cumbersome to keep resetting the little computer box to do new drawings and I didn’tContinue reading “Scribbling Overlay”
Badly Drawn Man
I’ve been really busy with computer stuff and family doings today and I had to snatch a few minutes to do today’s sketch just now. I bought ‘Game Of Thrones’ earlier and here’s Husb reading it on the settee. It’s huge. A lot of what artists make isn’t very good, that’s why old canvasses haveContinue reading “Badly Drawn Man”
Whinberries On The Beacons
We spent a couple of hours foraging for whinberries on the Brecon Beacons earlier today. Whinberries are a type of blueberry or bilberry and the picking season is very short. I haven’t been out picking them for years and I can’t remember how I cooked them before. Traditionally, they’re baked in a pie. I’ll sleepContinue reading “Whinberries On The Beacons”
