Husb and I have been at a conference all weekend, it was hard work but really informative and provocative – in a good way – provoking thought and plans and action. I managed to find a bit of time for sketching though, with my Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens (Sepia) and Inktense watercolour blocks. IContinue reading “Wonderful Colourful.”

Bearded Quickies.
I did some quick sketches today, of the same man but from different angles. He has a beard, high forehead and glasses which is a difficult combination to sketch. It’s all good practice though.
A Quickie At The Pub Quiz.
A quick scribble at the pub quiz the other evening, with a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen into my little leather-bound sketchbook.
More Porto Pavement People.
Some more of the very quick sketches I did last week on holiday. I like to stand on the pavement and speedily scribble people walking along, most people move quite fast. I prefer to follow someone from when they’re quite a way down the road. I used a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen, size S,Continue reading “More Porto Pavement People.”
Porto Pavement People.
I sometimes stand on the pavement and scribble people walking along. Most people move quite quickly so my sketches are speedy. I generally spot someone when they’re quite a way down the road and follow them as they get closer, focusing on the essence of the figure, not the details. I did a few ofContinue reading “Porto Pavement People.”
The Rediscovered Sketchbook.
Sometimes I put a sketchbook down and forget about it for months or even years. I don’t know why I do it, some of them just seem to fall out of favour or maybe a I fall in love with the novelty of a new one. This little leather-clad book is one of these. IContinue reading “The Rediscovered Sketchbook.”
Another Head.
Another head drawn the other night at Swansea’s Volcano Theatre. I love drawing when I’m out, catching people unawares, absorbed in their own world.
At the gig.
Went to a gig last night with Husb, of course I had to have a scribble.
Unplanned Scraping.
I carried on with the nocturne painting by scraping on some pinks with a palette knife. It wasn’t planned, I had some Titanium White, Medium Magenta and Dioxazine Violet left over from another painting and as always, “waste not, want not”. I’m not sure if the colour will make it though to the final pieceContinue reading “Unplanned Scraping.”
Friday Night at the Patti.
Husb and I went to a gig last night, The Beat at the Patti Pavilion, a beautiful old venue on the seafront that had put on gigs all through the 1970s. Friday nights at the Patti are a fond memory of my youth and I saw some wonderful bands there. The gigs have been resumedContinue reading “Friday Night at the Patti.”
