I was working into a large (A2) brown paper sketchbook back in November 2016, using conté crayons in white, black and sanguine. I really like that combination of paper and drawing materials for doing portraits. These are professional life models at Swansea Print Workshop’s weekly life drawing group.

Here’s a throwback to November 2017 for this week’s #Caturday Saturday. Sparta Puss looking very lively, she was about 8 years old here and she’s still going strong.
Inspired By Eryri: 1
Husb and I went on a crazy coach trip to North Wales last week. It was fantastic, it’s such a gorgeous area. I didn’t want to do a lot of artwork, I wanted to enjoy the holiday, but I took a new sketchbook, made from very rough handmade Khadi paper that I prepared with gessoContinue reading “Inspired By Eryri: 1”
A Busman’s Holiday
I haven’t posted on my blog for a week because I’ve been on holiday, a Grand (De)Tour of North Wales with a coachload of like-minded people. It was fantastic. I did some sketching, not too much because I wanted to relax as well. I didn’t want it to be too much like a Busman’s Holiday.Continue reading “A Busman’s Holiday”

Back to Autumn 2016 and some random sketches that I did out and about. I really should do more. I’m still out and about but I find I’m participating more and more in what’s going on around me and don’t want to interrupt it with scribbling. Maybe I was more curmudgeonly back in the dayContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 67”
Scribbling A Little Group
Husb and I went to a barbecue a few evenings ago, at a neighbours house, where many musicians played and the company was lovely and cheerful. A good opportunity to sit and sketch, I drew this group in pencil.
A Quick One In The Café
Another little scribble in my sketchbook snatched quickly in a café as someone was waiting for their cuppa.
Just Sitting And Sketching
Husb and I went to a barbecue at a lovely neighbour’s house yesterday evening: the weather was warm and gentle; the company lovely and cheerful; and there were many musicians making music. I sat quietly in a corner and sketched a bit while people listened to the music.
