I painted this “fake” of Piet Mondrian’s “Evening: The Red Tree” recently and Husb made a time-lapse film of it – all done in under a minute – I wish!! Sparta Puss hung out with me while I painted. Here’s the video below. This is the last few days of my September fundraiser for LATCH:Continue reading “The Red Tree At High Speed And A Cat”

Pandemic, Paintings And Podcast
It’s the last few days to see my exhibition of “Pandemic Paintings” on Swansea Print Workshop’s digital gallery. It’s our September show and I’m chuffed to be showing the “fakes” I’ve done with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. Here are a few of them but there are plenty more in theContinue reading “Pandemic, Paintings And Podcast”
Painting From A Drawing
I’m starting to paint my own work now, after 18 months of copying great artists with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. I did a pastel drawing when I was visiting the Lake District last week and I’m developing it into a painting. Here’s a section of it, using Liquitex Heavy BodyContinue reading “Painting From A Drawing”
Scoffing And Sketching
Husb and I went to Glasgow last week, for the first time. What a fabulous city. I loved it. We did the touristy bit, visiting the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum (fabulous), the Necropolis (fabulous) and lunching at the famous Willows Tearooms (fabulous). We only had two days there but just enough to convince usContinue reading “Scoffing And Sketching”
PODCAST: 10 PAINTINGS AND A CUPPA TEA
PODCAST SEPTEMBER 2021 Hiya, Rosie Scribblah here. http://www.scribblah.co.uk Welcome to my latest podcast. It’s called 10 Paintings – I don’t do long podcasts. Just enough time for a cuppa tea and a biscuit. Or a Welsh cake. This is about 10 paintings I have copied through lockdown. I’ve been following the Cheese and Wine PaintingContinue reading “PODCAST: 10 PAINTINGS AND A CUPPA TEA”
Scribbling On The Common
Husb and I had a few days away last week, cautiously enjoying the relaxation in lockdown rules. We spent some time in the Lake District and I did a bit of scribbling out walking on the glorious Birkrigg Common. I used Daler Rowney Artist’s Pastels onto hand made Khadi paper. I’m facing North West inContinue reading “Scribbling On The Common”
The Vulgar Painter?
Camille Pissarro was slightly older than most of the Impressionist artists in France and he was a bit of a father figure to them. Like the other Impressionists he was frustrated with conventional academic art so he worked outside “en plein air”, painting what was in front of him and finishing his paintings in oneContinue reading “The Vulgar Painter?”
Claude And Gwendoline
This is my painted copy of an original painting that’s here in Wales. It’s French Impressionist Claude Monet’s “San Giorgio Maggiore At Dusk“. He painted it in the first few years of the 20th Century, when he was quite elderly. He loved the sunsets in Venice and started his paintings there, but took them backContinue reading “Claude And Gwendoline”
Vincent Goes To The Seaside
These dynamic brushstrokes are from a “fake” I did of a painting by Vincent van Gogh, “Fishing Boats on the Beach at Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer“, which was painted when Vincent was living in Arles in the south of France and had a trip to the seaside for a week in 1888 to help with his health.Continue reading “Vincent Goes To The Seaside”
Sketching On A Train
Husb and I went away for a few days, to the Lake District and Glasgow. Hectic but great to get away after all these many months of lockdown. I love sketching on trains and did this one into my A6 leatherbound sketchbook with a ballpoint pen. I’ve been keeping sketchbooks for many years – itContinue reading “Sketching On A Train”
