Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. I did quite a few digital drawings on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the free Markers app. Here’s 2 of them. I’ll blog the others tomorrow. Husb and I are off out now in a minute. There’s been a massive solar flare over theContinue reading “Life Drawing And Northern Lights”

Another Curry Quickie
Here’s another quick sketch I did the other evening at our local curry house, the incomparable Vojon. Sketching in public forces you to be quick and it also forces you to zone in on the essential details, which is really good practice. Drawn with a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen, size S into my littleContinue reading “Another Curry Quickie”
Supermoon Random
We’ve had a fabulous supermoon the past couple of nights. I had prepared some Khadi handmade paper sketchbook pages with Indian ink wash some months ago. It had stippled heavily over some parts of the sheet. Inspired by the supermoon, I made just a few marks on it with a white oil bar to giveContinue reading “Supermoon Random”
Quickie In The Curry House
A young relative did well in her recent G.C.S.Es and deserved a curry, so we went to our favourite curry house, the most excellent Vojon, and after took a spin to Mumbles for an ice cream. I managed a quick sketch in the Vojon, in between mouthfuls of Handi lamb Polongwala.
Burgers
Husb and I spent a couple of happy hours yesterday with friends in Cwmdonkin Park, made famous by the author and poet, Dylan Thomas. It’s the centenary of his birth this year and there are loads of events to commemorate it in Swansea, including the arts fair in Cwmdonkin, with music, poetry and visual arts.Continue reading “Burgers”
Baggies And Beards
Now I know I’m getting old. I sound just like my father when I see what young men are wearing these days. Baggy, baggy jeans halfway down their bums and beatnik, or is it hipster, beards. What’s wrong with waist length hair, crushed velvet loons and pretty, clean shaven faces, eh? Mutter, mutter ……
Not Flattering
I need to draw every day, and Husb often ends up as my long suffering model. We stepped out for a walk earlier and before we knew it, we covered 8k. When we got back, Husb changed into his dressing gown and slippers and crashed out on the settee, channel hopping. I had a quickContinue reading “Not Flattering”
A Digital Male Nude
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop with a new digital sketch on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the free Markers app. This is an older male model that I really enjoy drawing. Time for bed now though.
Another Dark Room
I carried on drawing in a darkened room with my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 this evening. I liked what I did yesterday, so I kept to drawing on top of a dark ground with white and touches of other colours. Husb and I have been making the most of the good weather to workContinue reading “Another Dark Room”
My Dark Room
I went to bed a bit earlier to try and catch up with sleep after all the insomnia I’ve had recently, then remembered that I hadn’t done a drawing. So I scribbled the corner of my darkened bedroom on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the free Markers app. Good night ☺
