Feeling a bit under the weather today so I had a cup of hot blackberry vinegar this evening. Husb and I managed to get a final pick late in September and put the fruit into large jars, packing it down lightly,and covered the fruit with white wine vinegar. After a few days,we strained the fruitContinue reading “Blackberry Vinegar”

Big Hair And Jimjams
Husb and I were in Cardiff yesterday to go to the opening of Sarah Hopkins’ new exhibition of screenprints at the Fountain Gallery. As we drove through the city at lunchtime, I spotted this chap out in the street,chatting on his mobile phone in his pajamas. I took a sneaky snap and drew from itContinue reading “Big Hair And Jimjams”
Lost!
I went to the life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop this evening and did a long,involved digital drawing on my Galaxy Tablet. I’m trying to get to grips with the Magic Marker app. About 5 minutes from the end I accidentally pressed the ‘off’ button and lost it ! So I did a 5Continue reading “Lost!”
Fasto
Husb and I spent some of the night on the ferry from Ireland to Wales. We finally got to bed at 3am but had a nice lie-in and just chilled out today. It was a smooth crossing and I didn’t vomit once! The Irish Sea can be really rough but it was behaving itself lastContinue reading “Fasto”
Long Journey, Scabby Cat
Husb and I started travelling late last night,all the way to the West Coast of Ireland,via ferry and lots of hard driving. We’re in a tiny village near the Shannon river and this scruffy little feral cat has persuaded my relatives to feed him. He’s unapproachable but content to hang out in the garden inContinue reading “Long Journey, Scabby Cat”
Quick Exercise
I had the Tablet to hand this morning while Husb was doing his exercises so I did a quick scribble. It’s a real challenge to draw someone who’s moving fast,you have to concentrate on the general outline and main features,there’s no time to get any details down. It becomes a bit of a mass ofContinue reading “Quick Exercise”
Keeping On.
I’m keeping on practicing with the digital drawing and took the tablet to life drawing this evening. I’m not sure I like this drawing but doing it has given me a good idea of what the app is capable of. I like the scribbliness of it but the colour palette isn’t good enough. But I’llContinue reading “Keeping On.”
Attilla The Hunny
Went to visit relatives today and did a scribble of the family dog, Attilla the Hunny. She’s very large and boisterous, which is where the Attilla bit comes from and Hunny because she’s a real sweetie. She did not like being drawn because I had to stare hard at her. My kitties LOVE posing whileContinue reading “Attilla The Hunny”
Digital Feet
Today’s been one of those days which is mostly admin. That’s the reality for anyone who’s self employed. It’s not sitting around all day doing creative stuff. I wish. So I really didn’t want to do any drawing today but I set myself the target to draw daily and draw I must. And the easiestContinue reading “Digital Feet”
Magic Marker Man
Husb and I have just come back from a quick visit to Dieppe, delightful place. We went by ferry and it was so much more relaxing and much less hassle than flying. I did a few scribbles in my sketchbook but on the way back on the ferry, I sketched this other traveller using theContinue reading “Magic Marker Man”
