Here are the last few drawings from my visit to Ulverston’s “The Wall” with my young relatives. While they and Husb bouldered, I sat and sketched. These few below are the first ones I did, extra speedy to warm up.

Scribbling Bouldering 5.
Here’s another couple of scribbles from The Wall in Ulverston, where Husb and I visited last week. He bouldered with some of our younger relatives while I scribbled. Here are some very quick sketches of two of the littler ones.
Scribbling Bouldering 4.
Husb and I spent a few days in The Lake District last week, in the lovely little town of Ulverston. Husb and our younger relatives went on the climbing wall, doing bouldering. Of course, I had to have a scribble. It’s great to draw people in strange poses that I normally wouldn’t see. I had to be quick too,Continue reading “Scribbling Bouldering 4.”
Scribbling Bouldering 3.
Here’s another scribble from The Wall in Ulverston, where Husb and I visited last week. He bouldered, I scribbled. Here he is with some snazzy handholds and footholds, which look a bit like pebbles and gems strewn across a beach after I’ve tweaked them in Adobe Photoshop . Sensibly, there were some very deep fallContinue reading “Scribbling Bouldering 3.”
Scribbling Bouldering 2.
I went to The Wall in Ulverston when I was there last week, not to climb, but to sketch. Climbers twisted themselves into some great shapes, but I had to draw quickly. The bouldering wall is covered in odd, bright shapes, handholds and footholds. I put photos of them through Adobe Photoshop to go withContinue reading “Scribbling Bouldering 2.”
Scribbling Bouldering 1.
Husb and I spent a few days in The Lake District last week, in the lovely little town of Ulverston. Husb joined some of our young relatives on the climbing wall. The technique is called bouldering and I’d never heard of it before. Of course, I had to have a scribble. It was a greatContinue reading “Scribbling Bouldering 1.”
Another Hairy Head.
Husb and I went to The Lyric Theatre in Carmarthen last week to see “Operation Julie – A Rock Musical” – it was brilliant. It’s based on a true story that happened in Wales in the 1970s and the audience was mostly – erm – of a certain age – like me and Husb 😀Continue reading “Another Hairy Head.”
The Biggest Bust
Husb and I went along to Carmarthen last Friday evening, to the Lyric Theatre to see Theatr naNog’s new show, Operation Julie – a Rock Musical. It was FANTASTIC! Of course, I had to have a scribble of the audience – with a ballpoint pen into my leatherbound A5 sketchbook. Billed as “Breaking Bad meetsContinue reading “The Biggest Bust”
Just Some Tweaking
I’ve done a little bit more work on this painted portrait I started a while back. It’s based on sketchbook drawings of my young relative. It’s been quite a learning experience as I’ve only started painting seriously since the Covid19 lockdown started – I’m a printmaker and scribbler. But I’m pleased with the way it’sContinue reading “Just Some Tweaking”
Adding Colour 2
I’m carrying on working into my sketchbooks, developing the drawings in a way I’ve never done before. I used to scribble, turn the page, then forget them. I did a series of sketches a theatrical event about 4 years ago, Now The Hero / Nawr Yr Arwr. The performers / dancers were enveloped in aContinue reading “Adding Colour 2”
