Two Heads At The Gig.

I did lots of scribbling at the gig in Hippos on Saturday night, people in audiences are usually absorbed in the performer – unless they’re dancing – and it makes drawing them easier. Here are two very interesting heads grooving to my old mate Peter Crow. I cropped a section of the drawing in AdobeContinue reading “Two Heads At The Gig.”

Scribbling Bouldering 6.

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 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.”

Playing With Drawings 3

I’m playing with Adobe Photoshop and some of the charcoal drawings I did during the first lockdown 2 years ago, using Gradient Map and a selection of Artistic Filters. The originals are in black and white and it’s expanding my imagination to change them into colour and try out some different effects. I suppose inContinue reading “Playing With Drawings 3”

Playing With Drawings 2

I’ve been looking at some of my sketchbooks and having a digital play with some of the drawings. I don’t normally do that, I usually scribble and then leave them, but lately I’ve been going back to them, seeing if they trigger any ideas. I take digital photos of all my sketches and I uploadedContinue reading “Playing With Drawings 2”

Playing With Drawings 1.

I’ve been looking at some of my sketchbooks and having a digital play with some of the drawings. I don’t normally do that, I usually scribble and then leave them, but lately I’ve been thinking about working from them, lots of other artists do. Trying Different Effects I take digital photos of all my sketchesContinue reading “Playing With Drawings 1.”

Playing Around.

I take my art very seriously and I rarely relax and play around with it. I’m trying to be a bit freer, so this evening I had a play with a charcoal drawing I did way back in early lockdown – seems like so long ago now. I uploaded the drawing into Adobe Photoshop andContinue reading “Playing Around.”

More Prepping

Photoshopping I did some more preparation today, using source photos of manhole covers around the Waun Wen area of the city (taken by Melvyn Williams). I used Adobe Photoshop and put them through some filters and turned them black and white. I added halftone dots to a few and a couple I turned into negatives.Continue reading “More Prepping”

Slicing And Dicing

I’m slicing and dicing my ancestral stones! I’ve put my drawings of Neolithic monuments into Adobe Photoshop and I’m designing some merchandise for my solo show at The Worker’s Gallery in September. I’ll have original drawings, lino prints and etchings for the exhibition but not everyone can afford original art – or may not haveContinue reading “Slicing And Dicing”
