Psychedelic Male Nude

    Here’s another of my watercolour nudes from quite a while back, about 7 years I think. Doesn’t time fly!!!! I stopped doing them because I thought I was getting into a rut, but looking back at this series recently, I really rather like this technique so I think I’ll prepare stretch some papersContinue reading “Psychedelic Male Nude”

Blue Nude Reflected

Here’s another from the archives, when I went through a watercolour phase at life drawing group. I like to use watercolour in a choppy fashion, more like a gouache. This older model used to be a dancer and has a very lithe body which is so interesting to draw, a bit like Egon Schiele’s models.Continue reading “Blue Nude Reflected”

“People And Place” – The Video

Here’s a short video about the art collective I’m in. It shows the 3 of us, a painter, a collagist and a scribbler / printmaker, at work. We’re called “15 Hundred Lives” and we have our first major group exhibition, “People And Place” starting tomorrow (Friday 21st August, 6-8pm) at Oriel Ceri Richards in theContinue reading ““People And Place” – The Video”

More Digital Head

Here’s the second drawing I did at last week’s life drawing group at Swansea Print Workshop, working with an older female model. I used a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with a free Markers app. There’s a slideshow below showing the development of the drawing.

Creatively Bubbling

    For 2 years the “15 Hundred Lives” art collective that I am part of has been running public access art events monthly at the Creative Bubble artspace in Swansea’s city centre. Each month we have guest artists working with us and it’s a privilege to have worked with 26 guests since we startedContinue reading “Creatively Bubbling”

Emerging Heads

  I’ve spent two days working with the 15 Hundred Lives art collective in the Creative Bubble artspace, giving the public open access to our working processes and at the same time putting the finishing touches to the last pieces of work for our upcoming exhibition at Oriel Ceri Richards. Here I’m drawing onto vintageContinue reading “Emerging Heads”

Jabbing My Finger

Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop with a couple of studies of heads. Our model is a retiree and she’s been modelling for us for some years. I love drawing the faces of elders, so interesting and so much life written across them. I used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 withContinue reading “Jabbing My Finger”

FRAMED!

  The boring, mundane side of being an artist. It isn’t all about creativity. I have an exhibition coming up next week and the work has to be framed and, being a skint artist, I can’t afford to take over 2 dozen works to the framers so I’m knuckling down and doing it myself. It’sContinue reading “FRAMED!”

Quality And The Male Nude

Here is another of the series of ink and watercolour nudes I did a while ago. This is an older male model I’ve worked with for years, he’s a stalwart of the life drawing group at Swansea Print Workshop. I did the line drawing with Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens. They’re my favourites and I’veContinue reading “Quality And The Male Nude”
