In The Market

I took a break from Swansea Fringe scribbling on Saturday and joined Husb and some friends for lunch at Swansea Market. There are some really good food places there and you can take it to a central food court to eat it. We had some gorgeous Greek food from Iokasti’s Kitchen. Of course, I hadContinue reading “In The Market”

The End Of A Sketchbook

I came to the end of my lovely cloth-bound sketchbook last night, at a gig in Elysium by Matthew Frederick. He had an interesting technique for playing his guitar across his lap, I haven’t seen that before. I really enjoyed the gig, not my usual thing, a very lovely singer songwriter, not heavy metal! IContinue reading “The End Of A Sketchbook”

Sketchbook Archives: 51

Looking through my sketchbook archives for November and December 2014, there are a few animals that are not domestic cats. There’s a lion and some lionesses drawn at Folly Farm, a friend’s dog, and some cyanotypes of pigeons that I had sketched years before.

Tea And Scribbles.

I popped into  Waterstones Café in Swansea today, having a quiet half hour, sitting quietly drinking tea and scribbling away. I used the continuous line technique with some cross-hatching using a ballpoint pen into an A6 sketchbook.

Quietly Watching

I was sitting quietly, sipping coffee and watching others sitting quietly, sipping coffee and reading and writing, in Waterstones Café in Swansea. Ideal conditions for sketching people. So I did. Ballpoint pen into an A6 sketchbook.

Coffee And Scribbles

I had a nice cuppa coffee in Waterstones Café this afternoon and scribbled some of the other patrons as I sipped. I used to go regularly to the café before Covid, but the lockdown got me out of the habit, which is a pity because it’s a good place to sketch as people are usually absorbed inContinue reading “Coffee And Scribbles”

Here’s a selection of scribbles from my sketchbooks in September 2014, I was busy out and about sketching that month. I must find more time to draw in public again.

The Quiet High Street

I had a nice cuppa tea in Waterstones Café this afternoon and watched people in the street below the first floor window. Not so long ago, this street was thronging with pedestrians but now hardly anyone passes by. It’s happening in city- and town centres across the country, as more people take up Internet shopping.Continue reading “The Quiet High Street”

Getting On A Bit

Here’s another scribble from to The Divine Comedy gig at Swansea Arena on Saturday evening. I sketched a couple of people after the support band, Studio Electrophonique. It was a seated gig but by the last quarter, most people were on their feet and dancing, with a crowd around the stage. The security staff looked slightly nervous butContinue reading “Getting On A Bit”
