I caught this quick sketch the other week at a birthday party, great place for a scribble because people are usually concentrating on chatting or listening to a band. I drew with a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen and a stick of Nitram charcoal into a small leather-bound sketchbook.

WTAF? Revisited.
A couple of weeks ago I had a session on the Columbian Press at Swansea Print Workshop, using some antique and vintage wooden Letterpress. It didn’t work out too well, the letters were very dirty with a build up of ink and gunge over many years. I cleaned them up with vegetable oil and fineContinue reading “WTAF? Revisited.”
More Big And Messy.
Here are a couple more paintings done by participants at GS Artists in Swansea, as part of their excellent 9to90 Community Arts programme. We did BIG and MESSY acrylic paintings with tennis-themed life size figures. Paint was applied with sponges, bath scrunchies and occasionally even big paint brushes.
Big And Messy!
I did some teaching this week, with a group of adults at GS Artists in Swansea as part of their excellent 9to90 Community Arts programme. We did BIG acrylic paintings with life size figures and a tennis theme for Summer. And it was MESSY! Loved it! I started out by getting people to draw around each others bodies toContinue reading “Big And Messy!”
Flowery Frocks.
Husb and I went to a birthday party at the weekend and there were lots of flowery frocks in the room. I never wear frocks and I’m not used to seeing so many of them in one place, so of course, I had to scribble them in my tiny sketchbook with a Faber Castell PittContinue reading “Flowery Frocks.”
One From Behind ….
I was out at a ‘do’ the other evening and I did a few scribbles. There was this very stocky bloke sitting nearby. The ‘do’ was in a Rugby Club and I’m guessing from his build that he was a player. I used Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens, sizes S and M, and Nitram charcoalContinue reading “One From Behind ….”
Up The Rugby Club: 1.
Husb and I went to a birthday bash this evening for some friends who are both 50, in a local rugby club. It was fun, a buffet with cocktail pasties, mini sausage rolls and coronation chicken sarnies. And the rambunctious Green Dragon Band playing crowd pleasers that filled the dance floor. Great stuff. Of course,Continue reading “Up The Rugby Club: 1.”
Metal Legs: 6.
And here’s the last of the Heavy Metal legs in my little sketchbook. This is a very scribbly pair of legs. The hot summer is bringing out the shorts and I get to see close up just how big men’s feet really are when they’re not partially covered with the bottom of trousers.
Metal Legs: 5.
And even more legs in shorts from the Suns of Thunder gig at Elysium last week. The sunshine is bringing them out! In my tiny leatherbound sketchbook using Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen (size S) and nitrile charcoal stick.
Metal Legs: 4.
And some more heavy metal legs. I was in a tight space in the audience for Suns of Thunder at Elysium the other night so I looked down and drew what I saw, lots of men’s legs in shorts with some pretty groovy foreshortening. Foreshortening isn’t a biscuit by the way 😀
