Here’s another digital study of a female nude I did at this week’s life drawing group at Swansea Print Workshop. It is a quick sketch, about 10 minutes, where I concentrated on siting the body within the space. I used a Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with a free Markers app.

A Late Head
Here’s another digital study of a head that I drew at life drawing last night at Swansea Print Workshop. I used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with a free Markers app. I wanted to blog it yesterday but the Internet has been terrible for the last 24 hours and has just come back.
And Now, The Ghost
Following on from yesterday’s post about my latest reduction monotype, this is the ‘ghost’ image that is formed by putting a second piece of paper through the press after the first image is taken off the perspex plate. This gives a paler, ethereal monotype, where the pigment has broken up into little grains, ratherContinue reading “And Now, The Ghost”
Stacking
Spent a happy few hours at Swansea Print Workshop this evening, making another small monotype based on one of my pastel landscape drawings from the residency I did in Pakistan earlier this year. I did a series of 49 small drawings very quickly, so they are very impressionistic. This is based on one of theContinue reading “Stacking”
The Run And The Crowd
Husb ran the Swansea Bay 10k race yesterday and I sat on the promenade with my back to the runners, looking at the beach. It was a gorgeous day, we’re having a glorious Indian Summer and the sea was sparkling. I did some scribbles into my leatherbound Steampunk sketchbook, practicing drawing figures in a crowd.Continue reading “The Run And The Crowd”
An Older Woman
Here’s another of the digital drawings I did during life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop a couple of evenings ago. I like working with this older woman model. Her face and body have lived life and are so very interesting to study. I prefer to work with older models and male models, to break awayContinue reading “An Older Woman”
Up A Ladder
I’m a member of an artist collective, 15 Hundred Lives and we have been running a monthly public art event at the Creative Bubble artspace in Swansea, we take the space for two days a month to work together as a group – a painter, a collagist and a printmaker / scribbler. I’ve been workingContinue reading “Up A Ladder”
Gentrified
I arrived early for a meeting with the art collective so I went for a coffee by the Waterfront Museum. It’s on the old dockside which has now been gentrified and is full of galleries, coffee shops and interesting nooks and crannies. The late summer weather has been amazing, warm and sunny and dry, soContinue reading “Gentrified”
Exciting Times
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop with a new digital life drawing done on my Samsung Galaxy with a free Markers app. This is one of our older models whose face and body are full of character built up over a lifetime of experience. It’s quite late and theContinue reading “Exciting Times”
Getting Started
All artworks have a starting point and this is where my next few drawings start their gestation. I’ve had some beautiful A2 vintage Saunders paper for a while, not knowing what to do with it. So today I took a cheap window cleaning squeegee and scraped some black acrylic screen printing medium over some ofContinue reading “Getting Started”
