These are the 8 portrait drawings I did for an event in St. David’s a few days ago. BBC1’s ‘The One Show’ filmed over two days and will eventually edit all that footage into a couple of 4 minute items. I worked with Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens, sizes S, F, M and B intoContinue reading “126 Portraits For The Telly”

Two Heads And A Big Challenge
Two more portrait drawings I did on Thursday during the filming by BBC1s ‘The One Show ‘ in St. David’s. The first day of filming started out following local artist, Grahame Hurd-Wood, who has set himself the challenge of painting the portraits of all 1800 residents of the tiny city. He has already done 112Continue reading “Two Heads And A Big Challenge”
Two Heads In Goat Street
Here are 2 more portrait drawings I did at the Goat Street Gallery in St Davids a couple of days ago. I was one of 11 artists gathered together by BBC1s ‘ The One Show ‘ to draw / paint as many portraits as possible in 5 hours. I was very nervous, people were queueingContinue reading “Two Heads In Goat Street”
David, Non And A Lovely Lad
This young man was one of the huge queue at the Goat Street Gallery, waiting to have their portraits done as part of BBC1 ‘The One Show” filming in St. David’s yesterday. He’s a very nice lad and a terrific model, very still and patient and held the pose for about half an hour. IContinue reading “David, Non And A Lovely Lad”
Long Day In The Tiny City
Another late one, just got back from a day in the tiny historic city of St. David’s where I was one of a group of figurative artists being filmed by BBC1s “The One Show”. We were based in the Goat Street Gallery and we worked from 11.30 to 5.00pm, drawing or painting the general publicContinue reading “Long Day In The Tiny City”
A Quickie
Just time for a quick blog tonight. Husb and I went to an outdoor screening of Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Psycho’ on the street beach this evening and just got back so I did a speedy scribble of an old lady’s head, took me 4 minutes. And now to bed. Exciting day tomorrow. It’s what I’ve beenContinue reading “A Quickie”
Felafels And Rain
I’ve spent a long day hunched over a computer, from 9 am to 7.30 this evening, doing business stuff. I was hoping to have a workout on the gym on the beach but the heavens opened this evening and I wimped out. I did a bit of yoga in the living room and watched tellyContinue reading “Felafels And Rain”
Muck Spreading
I didn’t draw or blog yesterday! I am a bad person! Sometimes life gets in the way. Husb and I ended up shovelling lots of farmyard manure, transporting it to the allotment and piling it on some of our raised beds. Several hours of muck spreading in the heat and flies. Then we went foragingContinue reading “Muck Spreading”
Heads And Curry
Went to our local curry house this evening, the incomparable Vojon. I’ve been practicing gesture drawings of heads this week, keeping to a 3 minute time limit, but working from photos. This evening, I did some sketching at the curry house. It isn’t as easy or as quick to work from real life as peopleContinue reading “Heads And Curry”
The Trim Trail And The Lurgi.
Had a bit of a lurgi this week so I hadn’t been down to the Trim Trail for a few days. It’s a free outdoor gym on the promenade of Swansea Bay, about 15 minutes walk away. I try to get a half hour workout 3 or 4 times a week. Stupidly, I didn’t paceContinue reading “The Trim Trail And The Lurgi.”
