I was at a conference over last weekend. It was a good one, not one of the boring, meaningless jollies I remember from my younger working days. I guess people don’t have time to waste now, or demand better value for money. But I found a few minutes here and there to have a quickContinue reading “Quick Conference Sketch: 1”

Wonderful Colourful.
Husb and I have been at a conference all weekend, it was hard work but really informative and provocative – in a good way – provoking thought and plans and action. I managed to find a bit of time for sketching though, with my Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens (Sepia) and Inktense watercolour blocks. IContinue reading “Wonderful Colourful.”
Bearded Quickies.
I did some quick sketches today, of the same man but from different angles. He has a beard, high forehead and glasses which is a difficult combination to sketch. It’s all good practice though.
A New Home ….
Here are eleven of my sketchbooks going back almost two decades and tomorrow they’re going to a new home ……. I’ll tell you where when I’ve delivered them 😀
A Quickie At The Pub Quiz.
A quick scribble at the pub quiz the other evening, with a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen into my little leather-bound sketchbook.
A Rub-Down With Wire Wool.

The type is old, wooden, vintage and some possibly antique and I’m not familiar enough with it yet to be able to tell what condition it’s in until I’ve printed it. ThisContinue reading “A Rub-Down With Wire Wool.”
Epic Fail!
Sometimes things go wrong and I had an epic fail a few days ago when I was working on a new Letterpress piece at Swansea Print Workshop. I spent ages setting up the type, I really liked how it looked in its wooden state so I inked it up with a rainbow roll, using CranfiedContinue reading “Epic Fail!”
Yesterday I made a couple of sheets of little circular designs, 24 in all, trying out some ideas for some Adult Education sessions I’ll be running soon. Today I chose 10 of them to make up into badges and mount onto a small canvas that I painted black. I’ve had the badge machine for aContinue reading
Playing Small
I’ve been playing with small designs today, random images onto 45mm circles using brush and ink, graphite sticks, Sharpie pens and coloured pencils. It’s for an adult education project I’m working on ….. there’s more to come.
More Porto Pavement People.
Some more of the very quick sketches I did last week on holiday. I like to stand on the pavement and speedily scribble people walking along, most people move quite fast. I prefer to follow someone from when they’re quite a way down the road. I used a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen, size S,Continue reading “More Porto Pavement People.”
