Husb and I went to listen to The Divine Comedy at Swansea Arena last night. I got the tickets ages ago for his birthday so we’ve been waiting with anticipation since. We enjoyed the support band, Studio Electrophonique, and during the interval I sketched a couple of people in the audience. Then The Divine ComedyContinue reading “Wall-to-Wall Gen. X”

A Cyanotype Pigeon
A cyanotype pigeon because…well, why not? The original is a little sketch I did into my sketchbook. I scanned into my computer and reversed it into a negative in Adobe Photoshop. Then I printed it onto a sheet of acetate and used it to make the cyanotype in an exposure unit. I used Bockingford paperContinue reading “A Cyanotype Pigeon”
Through The Window: In The Bookshop Café
I scribbled this in Waterstone’s café earlier today. I managed to get a seat opposite the huge windows and sketched this figure slumped over his smartphone, with part of the new biophilic living building in the background.
Studying: In The Bookshop Café
Before Covid (remember those days?) I used to go regularly to Waterstones Bookshop café to sit and sketch as it was so peaceful. It’s taken me a long time to go back to some of my pre-Covid habits, but I hope to reinstate this one. I popped in there today for a coffee and aContinue reading “Studying: In The Bookshop Café”
Free Talks With The Friends.
At the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery again on Friday, for a really good talk about the origins of the Welsh Red Dragon, by Professor Helen Fulton. Of course, I had a scribble. The talks are supported by The Friends of the Glynn Vivian and are free. The next one is on Saturday October 4th byContinue reading “Free Talks With The Friends.”
Big Words: In The Bookshop Café
I scribbled this in Waterstone’s café the other day. I liked the signage on the wall and the chap taking tea beneath it. I started to draw his companion, but they upped and left. How rude!
Continuous Line: In The Bookshop Café
Here’s another quick scribble from my visit to Waterstone’s café the other day. I like to use the continuous line method of sketching when there’s some depth to whatever’s in front of me. I find it’s the best technique to help draw perspective and proportion in a hurry.
Leaning…
Here’s another of my quick gig scribbles, this guy was sitting and leaning his arm against a pillar, while his other arm leant against the bar. I used the continuous line technique which helped to establish the proportions between the chair and the two people.
The Continuous Line.
Here’s another scribble from the gig that Husb and I went to over the weekend. I drew this lute player with the continuous line technique, not taking my pen off the paper. It gives an interesting dynamic to the sketch.
From The Ceiling And The Floor.
My first sketch from the boxing club last week, a warm up to get some proportions using continuous line, looking at the punch bags connecting to the ceiling and the floor, before the boxers arrived.
