Just a reminder that this is one of my “fake” masterpieces that I’ve put up for sale to support LATCH The Children’s Cancer Charity that has given so much support to a young relative over the past few years. This is a copy of one of John Constable’s study of clouds, he did lots. I’ve used Liquitex acrylic paints onto a primed, stretched canvas.

I’ve been painting ‘fakes’ with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook since lockdown started in Spring 2020. I’m selling some of them to raise funds for this lovely charity which has given so much support to my young relative over the past few years.

Thrilled to bits that this copy I painted of van Gogh’s “Sunset at Wheatfield Near Arles” has been sold for my fundraiser for LATCH, The Children’s Cancer Charity. It’s one of nearly 60 paintings I have done since the start of the pandemic lockdown early last year with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. I am selling a selection of them to raise money for LATCH, which has given so much support to a young relative and our family for the past three years.

I’ve donated 10 of the “fakes” I’ve painted with the Cheese and Wine Painting Club to raise funds for LATCH, the Welsh Children’s Cancer Charity that has been so supportive to my young nephew here over the past four years. We’re running the fundraiser throughout September and already sold FOUR, which is brilliant.

My favourite pose each week at life drawing seshes is the recliner. I like it best when I’m not head on to the model, but observing from the head or feet, because it exaggerates the foreshortening, which I love. This one is great, really enjoyed it. I used black conte crayon and Daler Rowney artist’s soft pastels onto vintage paper.

Here are the first three short poses from last night’s life drawing sesh at Swansea Print Workshop, the two on the left are 5 minutes each and the one on the right, 10 minutes. I used conte crayons in black and sanguine onto a middleweight paper. I especially like the pose on the far left – our model did a contemporary ‘selfie’ stance, really funny.

This painting, is “Charing Cross Bridge” by the 20th century Fauvist artist Andre Derain. It is part of my fundraiser for LATCH, The Children’s Cancer Charity. I love the colours and the liveliness of this painting. It was a joy to do but as with most paintings by the greats it was surprisingly complex.
Since the COVID19 lockdown began over a year ago, I have been painting every week with Ed Sumner’s live tutorials on the Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. I have been asked many times if I would be willing to sell them. The idea is attractive but I don’t want to make money from copies. But as the lockdown has run on and on, I now have almost 50 copies of masterpieces and I’ve decided to sell some of them to raise money for charity.
I am selling this and nine other paintings with all the money going to a charity which does very important work to improve the lives of children suffering from cancer.
To see the rest of the paintings and how to buy them please click on this link or the picture. In the video below you can see me painting the whole thing in a mercifully speeded up all-action version of real life events. Of course my cat Sparta had to “help out” as well.

Hiya. Since the COVID19 lockdown began over a year ago, I have been painting every week with Ed Sumner’s live tutorials on the Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. Ed teaches painting skills by copying work by great artists. I write on my artblog every day and as I’ve been putting these paintings up onto my blog I have been asked many times if I would be willing to sell them. The idea is attractive but I don’t want to make money from copies. But as the lockdown has run on and on, I now have almost 50 copies of masterpieces and I’ve decided to sell some of them to raise money for a charity chosen by my young nephew here.

LATCH
LATCH supports the children and their families being treated by the Oncology Unit at the Children’s Hospital of Wales, whose catchment area stretches from Chepstow to Aberystwyth. Around 70 new cases of childhood cancer are diagnosed every year. LATCH has been supporting members of my own family and I wanted to raise some funds for this lovely charity.
LATCH was formed in 1982 by a group of families and friends who recognised that the children diagnosed with cancer or leukaemia and their families not only needed medical support, but also social and welfare support to ease the huge financial and emotional burden placed on families with a child in treatment.
They do fantastic work but are not funded by the NHS; in fact they often donate equipment to the children’s cancer unit. All their funding comes from things like this so it would be great if you could buy a painting and help them out. You get a beautiful copy of a painting by one of the great masters to hang on your wall and at the same time you donate to the valuable work of an invaluable service. Please click here to see the work they do.
Please browse the 10 paintings I’ve selected for this fundraiser by clicking on the image above. The full cost of the paintings will go directly to LATCH and if you’re interested in buying one, please follow the instructions from LATCH below. I’ll be running this fundraiser throughout September. Please share this as far as you can to help this charity. Thank you xxx

I get so precious about my art work sometimes to the point where I can hardly do anything so I’m trying to do a simple head a day for a while, see how I get on. Normally I work directly from life but I’m going to work from imagination on these, which is way out of my comfort zone, but that’s ok. I started this by drawing directly onto Khadi paper with a black soft pastel (Daler Rowney artists series) then I sprayed it with fixative so it wouldn’t get too messy. After that dried I had a bit of a play with gouache paint in cerulean blue, magenta, lemon yellow and white, trying to keep things as free as possible.

I have some small screenprints for sale, inspired by my drawings of the taxidermy collection at Swansea Museum. I have given these antique artifacts a modern twist by combining them with images of rubbish – old fruit nets, bubble wrap and plastic – highlighting the problem of human pollution and how it affects wildlife.

Husb has been making time-lapse films of the paintings I have been doing with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook on Fridays. It’s the whole painting in a minute!!! I wish!!!! This is one by Claude Monet, the “Cliff At Grainval”. To be honest, it isn’t one of my favourites, but there we go. I learnt a lot by doing it. Ed started the painting club to help people through the Covid19 pandemic and it’s still going! He’s done about 70 sessions so far.

Here’s the second 30-minute pose from this week’s life drawing. I prefer to draw reclining poses from the head or feet, to practice foreshortening, but this is the place I was standing so I had to make do with this stretched out pose. I wasn’t too keen to begin with but once I started putting in the colour (with Daler Rowney soft pastels) the whole thing clicked for me and I enjoyed doing it.
