Here’s a scribble from an old sketchbook, a walk on Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) on a sunny but misty afternoon about 8 years ago. I used a range of grey pastels mostly on their side into a black ringbound sketchbook.

8 Years Ago In Bath ….
I’ve been rummaging through some old sketchbooks and found these drawings from the Fringe Arts Bath (FAB) Festival in 2016, a few years before Covid19. It seems like another world. A small group of us stood in crowded streets in the sunshine and sketched, no knowledge of the impending pandemic that totally changed the wayContinue reading “8 Years Ago In Bath ….”
Another Quick Sketch ….
A quickly scribbled head with graphite into a Khadi sketchbook.
An Eclectic Mix.
Another head of a performer from the Riverside Folk Club a couple of weeks ago. It’s an eclectic mix of music, folk and country, blues and bluegrass, the occasional small choir and even a bit of comedic verse. I drew this with a 2B graphite block into a Khadi sketchbook.
Deep In Focus.
I was at the Riverside folk club the other evening and scribbled away in my sketch book. This performer was deeply focused, very wrapped up in performing. I used a 2B Koh-i-Noor graphite block into a square Khadi handmade paper sketchbook.
Feisty Folkie With Risqué Rhymes.
This guy was a hoot at the Riverside Folk Club the other evening. No refined refrains for him, straight into some robust renditions of saucy songs.

I was at the Riverside folk club the other evening and scribbled away in my sketch book. I often draw musicians and audiences at music events,Continue reading “The Joy Of Drawing!”
Plygain Scribbles.
Husb and I went to a Plygain this evening, a traditional Welsh Xmas celebration. Well, okay, it’s a bit late for Xmas, but the Blackbird choir, Cór Aderyn Du, had a hectic itinerary at Christmastide. I drew some of the choristers as they sang, it was interesting to sketch the contorted faces. The Plygain alsoContinue reading “Plygain Scribbles.”
Another Quickie From The Folk Club.
Another little sketch from the Riverside Folk Club last week. I used ink drawing pens and I made a mistake drawing his hand so I filled in his jumper with Nitram charcoal to cover it up. Cheating or creative license? 😀
More From The Folk Club.
Husb sings in a local community choir, Aderyn Du Brynmill Blackbirds, and they gave a short performance of Medieval Christmas Carols at the Riverside Folk Club in Loughor earlier this week. I tagged along and of course, I had to have a scribble. Here are two of the performers that I caught with my drawing pens.
