Another of the life drawings I did last week. I got really free with the scribbling on this one and had a bit of a play. That’s one good thing about going digital, you don’t get precious about wasting paper and drawing materials because you can just wipe the screen and start again with noContinue reading “Scribbly Male Nude”

The Creative Bubble
Just finished two days at Creative Bubble artspace with the 15 Hundred Lives artist collective. We use the space for a couple of days each month, to work together, sprawl all over the walls to do something big, invite other artists to work with us and open the door to the public so theyContinue reading “The Creative Bubble”
Just Ten Minutes
Another digital drawing from Thursday night’s life drawing group at Swansea Print Workshop. This is a 10 minute warm-up sketch, drawn on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 with a free Markers app.
An Older Male Model
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop, working this evening with an older male model. I drew with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 and a free Markers app. This is a quite long pose, almost an hour, but I didn’t really get into the zone this evening. Still, it’s good to practice andContinue reading “An Older Male Model”
Monkey Magic
Greetings trained apes. Sparta Puss here. I am now digitised. The idiot she-monkey usually scribbles into a book with sticks with dirt in them but now she’s managed to smear the dirt into the pooter box! It’s Monkey Magic! (One for the baby boomers 😀 ) She says the smeared dirt looks like me. She’sContinue reading “Monkey Magic”
Nearly There
(Above: The Afghan Border from Mitchni Post in the Khyber Pass) Yesterday I made a 300 mile round trip to Birmingham to submit my documents for a visa to Pakistan. I’ve been offered a residency to work with a group of international artists to produce a group show, culminating in an exhibition in Islamabad. IContinue reading “Nearly There”
A Long, Hard Day
Had a very long day, travelling to Birmingham and leaving at 6am. Arrived back home 14 hours later. First stop was at the visa office to submit my paperwork for a very exciting trip I’m planning for next month – more to come on that. We had enough time to drive into the city centreContinue reading “A Long, Hard Day”
More Process
I’ve been carrying on developing a suite of very small lino block portraits that I started a couple of blogs ago (in Process, Process, Process). I did some digital manipulation on Photoshop and got the image to the right size on my laptop and traced the image onto a good tracing parchment using a 3BContinue reading “More Process”
Arty Farty Party People
Husb and I have been invited to a party tonight. We don’t usually go to parties (we’re old gits) but this is a come-as-your-favourite-artist/painting-party and it also has curry! No brainer! The painting I’ve chosen isn’t my favourite although I have a sneaky admiration for its kitchness. I thought that if I took the briefContinue reading “Arty Farty Party People”
Why The Nude?
Here’s another drawing from the Thursday Night Life Drawing Group at Swansea Print Workshop, done on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 with a free Markers app. Sometimes I’m asked why I draw nudes. It’s because I’m a traditional artist and I work within the European tradition which has portrayed the human nude for around 40,000Continue reading “Why The Nude?”
