Here’s another life drawing from this week’s session. It’s a 20 minute pose and I used the large wall mirrors; I preferred what I saw in the mirror, it’s nice to draw a back view for a change. I used black and sanguine conte crayons onto vintage paper. I like using conte crayons, they drawContinue reading “Drag Them On Their Side”

Two Fives And A Ten
Just back rom life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. Good session tonight. Lovely model and I really got into the zone. Here are the warm up drawings, two five minute poses and then a ten minute. I used conte crayon onto some vintage paper I have knocking around. I love the shorter poses because theyContinue reading “Two Fives And A Ten”
A Landscape Of Flesh
Here’s the latest “fake” that I’ve done with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. It’s a sunset by the Norvegian artist Edvard Munch. The original is weird, the landscape looks like it’s made from flesh, but it’s the sort of thing you’d expect from Munch. We used an interesting technique where theContinue reading “A Landscape Of Flesh”
A Green Hill and a Poisoned Emperor
Hiya. Rosie Scribblah here with another tea-break podcast, just enough time for a cuppa tea and maybe a biscuit. This one is about the colour Green which I read about in Victoria Finlay’s book “Colour: Travels Through The Paintbox” and also a bit of local history thrown in from the area I lived in.

And The Cat Helped …..
Painting van Gogh’s bedroom in under a minute – and the cat helped too. Husb films me when I’m faking on Fridays with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club over on Facebook and then edits several hours of painting into around a minute. It took about 6 hours really. A Chance To Own OneContinue reading “And The Cat Helped …..”
Framing The Model
Here’s the last life drawing I did at this week’s session, it’s a 50 minute pose and I used Daler Rowney Artist’s soft pastels onto a heavyweight vintage paper. It’s always a bit of a problem fitting the model onto the paper, so framing the subject is important. I decided to put our model intoContinue reading “Framing The Model”
A Bit Skewiff
Here’s a 30 minute drawing from the life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop the other evening. I went a bit skewiff with this one, with some deliberately wobbly lines, having a bit of fun with the shapes and pushing myself away from representational drawing. I’m using Daler Rowney soft pastels onto vintage paper. AContinue reading “A Bit Skewiff”
Taking Liberties
Here’s another life drawing from yesterday evening’s session at Swansea Print Workshop. I use standard sheets of paper and rarely cut them into another shape, which I suppose is a bit lazy. It’s often difficult to fit the subject into the paper without either cutting bits off or having lots of empty space. I loveContinue reading “Taking Liberties”
Just Back …..
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. It’s late and I’m off to bed soon. Here’s a 10 minute pose from our brilliant model. I drew with sanguine and black conte crayons onto vintage paper. Nos Da, Good Night
From Sketch To Drawing
I have sketchbooks stuffed full of drawings stuffed into cupboards but I rarely work from them, once they’re done they tend to be forgotten. So I’ve decided to go back to them and try and develop something using different materials. This is a recent sketch in ballpoint pen done in a local quarry. It’s linearContinue reading “From Sketch To Drawing”
