Travel drawings – scribblah

Sketchbook Archives: 52

Some of my out-and-about sketchbook drawings from December 2014, I think some of them are from a visit to Malta that month.

Here are some people drawings from way back in June 2014, mostly in pen into a sketchbook but the last one is a digital scribble on my old Samsung Note 8 tablet, using a free Markers app. I did a bit of travelling that month, to London and Vienna. I used to travel a lotContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 45”

In April 2014, I went to Pakistan on an artist residency. It was amazing!!! What a fantastic country. Here are some of my sketches and the last photo is of me and fellow Swansea artist Hannah Lawson at the entrance to our group show exhibition in Islamabad. It was such an exciting month. I lovedContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 42”

Here’s a drawing from June 2014, when Husb and I visited the Belvedere Gallery in Vienna. I saw this wonderful sculpture of a cat by Franz Barwig and scribbled it.

It’s such a long time ago now, that I did a month-long artist residency in Pakistan, it was wonderful. And I met a Pakistani cat called Messi. So I drew him. I was going through a digital drawing phase at the time, using a free Markers app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

Taking The Line Forward: 1

Here’s what I decided to do with my Birkrigg Common sketch that I posted yesterday (with the Hoad Lighthouse above Ulverston in the background). I did a few of these linear sketches on my recent holiday and I’m working into this one with some watercolour washes. I like blending watercolours directly onto the paper (Khadi). Plenty more toContinue reading “Taking The Line Forward: 1”

Starting With Line: 6

Decisions! Decisions! Here’s the other half of my Birkrigg Common sketch that I posted yesterday. This clearly shows the Hoad Lighthouse, that towers above Ulverston, whose name invokes a “wolf warrior”. I did a few of these linear sketches on my recent holiday and now I have to decide what to do with them. ContinueContinue reading “Starting With Line: 6”

Starting With Line: 5

It was a lovely warm and sunny day on Birkrigg Common in the Lake District earlier this month and I sat and I scribbled for a while. I used a Faber Castell Pitt pen into my Khadi Landscape sketchbook. On the upper right of the drawing is the Hoad Lighthouse, a famous landmark around theseContinue reading “Starting With Line: 5”

Starting With Line: 4

This is the “other” side of the drawing I posted yesterday, from my Landscape Khadi sketchbook. I like drawing right across the double page to get a panoramic view. I’ll be using watercolours on this – when I find the time! This is somewhere in the Lake District, up a mountain, I can’t be moreContinue reading “Starting With Line: 4”
