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”
Adding Colour 1.
More and more I’m going through sketchbooks and working into some of the drawings I did a while back. My sketchbooks tend to be full of spontaneous scribbles and when I’ve done one, I turn the page and forget about it. So lately I’ve started trawling through them to see what turns up. This isContinue reading “Adding Colour 1.”
Scribbling In The Elysium Gallery Bar.
Here’s the last of the sketches I did in Elysium Bar the other evening. Gigs are good for scribbling because people are generally focused on the performers and keep reasonably still. Tom Emlyn and Sarah Passmore were playing – check them out, they’re fab. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a youngerContinue reading “Scribbling In The Elysium Gallery Bar.”
Talking Heads
Here’s another of my sketchbook drawings from the Elysium Bar the other evening, two friends engrossed in talking. Lovely. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a younger relative of mine, to have life-changing surgery in Spain. Phil is disabled by Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and the operation he needs isn’t currently available in the UK.Continue reading “Talking Heads”
Scribbling In The Bar.
Husb and I went to see some musicians last night, Tom Emlyn and Sarah Passmore, in the Elysium Gallery Bar. Of course, I had to have a scribble. I used a ballpoint pen into an A5 leather-bound sketchbook. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a younger relative of mine, to have life-changingContinue reading “Scribbling In The Bar.”
