Husb and I took a young relative to our local axe-chucking centre earlier this evening, they chucked axes and I had a scribble. Here he is, he’s at that stage of shooting up and being very skinny. He did pretty well with the axes.

Sketchbook Archives: 8
I posted these sketches on my blog through April 2012. It’s nice looking back at these memories; our niece now all grown up, a visit to see the giraffes in Folly Farm, a windy walk on the beach…
After A Chippy Tea.
I went out this evening after an early chippy tea, to a meeting of an arts group I’m a member of. Of course, I had to have a scribble… There was cheese there. I ate some cheese. In fact, I ate a lot of cheese. Not a good idea after a chippy tea. Now I’mContinue reading “After A Chippy Tea.”
A Short Film Of A Drawing.
Here is a short film (made by Husb) of a drawing I did on my recent residency in Germany during the first day in Berlin, before we went to the Atelier Werenzhain.
Lovely Jubbly (Fun With Teaching).
I love adult education. So much fun. I was working with a small group this afternoon in a community garden. I demonstrated the effects you can get with some pieces of plants, acrylic paint and Gelli-Plates. By doing a demo, I get to play with the materials too. Lovely Jubbly.
A Pakistan Journey In Print:1
Way back in 2007 I was lucky to travel to Pakistan for a two-week visit with friends from Wales, Denmark and Pakistan. It was a fantastic journey, the country is so geographically and culturally varied, the people kind and friendly. I sketched as I normally do and when I came back to Wales I workedContinue reading “A Pakistan Journey In Print:1”
Sketchbook Archives: 7
Here’s a selection of sketches I first posted in March 2012, although they weren’t all drawn then. I began blogging in July 2011 to post my sketchbook drawings, so I was picking out examples going back years. These are drawings en plein air. I seemed to do a lot more back then. I think IContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 7”
Just Dancing.
Here are a couple more drawings of multiple figures I did before realising that single figures were the way to go on my A5 sheets of Khadi paper. I did these with a bamboo pen with a blunt cut-off end dipped into ink. I didn’t intend them to be dancing, they just turned out thatContinue reading “Just Dancing.”
Before The Singletons…
The past few days I’ve been posting drawings of single figures I did during my recent residency in Germany. I worked quickly and intuitively with twigs and ink onto Khadi handmade paper (320gsm). But before that, I did a few sheets with multiple figures on. It took me a while to realise the paper neededContinue reading “Before The Singletons…”
Changed My Mind.
These two single figures drawn with twigs and ink have a dynamic relationship between them, even though I did not draw them with that intention. I thought that figure on the left needed something else on the paper but after I had done it, I changed my mind. But that’s the way it happens sometimes.Continue reading “Changed My Mind.”
