Celebrity Portrait In 2 Hours.
I taught an adult education class this afternoon with the 9-to-90 Creative Community at the excellent GS Artists on Swansea’s High Street. The theme was to paint a portrait of the Divine Diva, Dame Shirley Bassey. In TWO hours! A bit challenging 😀 But we did it.

Of course, I had to have a scribble.Continue reading “A Japanese JAM Tribute Band in Aberdare.”
Mari Lwyd: First Proofs With Chine Collé
I printed up a first proof from my latest Mari Lwyd lino block and then did a second proof with chine collé, using fine coloured tissue papers. I cut and ripped some tissue paper shapes than placed them on the un-inked block, just to see if they were what I wanted and where I wasContinue reading “Mari Lwyd: First Proofs With Chine Collé”
A few weeks ago I did a short online art course, the Saturday Sketch Club with the Royal Academy of Arts. The session was about drawing from the imagination with the artist Emyr Williams. It was so good for me because it’s something I just don’t normally do, I like to work from life. In this exercise IContinue reading
