Just A Quickie …..

Just a quick little scribble in a cafe, took about a minute with a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen into my tiny leather-bound sketchbook.

It’s #StandingStoneSunday and here’s one I did earlier lol 😀 It’s a stone that lives in a small community on the North-East fringe of Swansea, in Bonymaen. The Welsh name of the area means the “base of the stone” and there’s a legend that it’s one end of a vast stone that travels under theContinue reading “#StandingStoneSunday”

#Caturday.

It’s #Caturday Saturday and here’s a blast from the past. Sparta Puss from 10 years ago, drawn in pen into a small sketchbook. She’s sitting on an old glass-fronted cabinet that Husb and I rescued from the street. There’s a cyanotype I did of Husb on her left.

Legs At Elysium: 3.

And the last of the legs from the Punk and Metal evening at Elysium Gallery bar the other evening, where I stood and scribbled into my tiny leather-bound sketchbook until the urge to jump around got too strong. I’ve been looking down and drawing legs at gigs a couple of times now, easier when you’re aContinue reading “Legs At Elysium: 3.”

Legs At Elysium: 2

Some more legs from the Elysium Gallery bar the other evening, where Husb and I attended a concert, a musical evening of Punk and Metal. Let’s be honest, I’m too old for a mosh pit, I’m likely to end up with something broken so I like to stand somewhere a bit safer and scribble into my tinyContinue reading “Legs At Elysium: 2”

Legs At Elysium: 1

Husb and I were at the Elysium Gallery bar the other evening, for an evening of raucous Punk and Metal, really LOUD! Loved it. I took my tiny leather-bound sketchbook into the audience, there wasn’t much room to draw so I scribbled the legs around me. I did that at another gig a few weeksContinue reading “Legs At Elysium: 1”

An Old (Young) Head.

Here’s another blast from the past, from one of my old life drawing sketchbooks. I drew this beautiful model at Swansea Print Workshop’s Thursday life drawing group about 11 or 12 years ago. At the time I was going through a phase of sticking coloured papers onto the plain white sketchbook pages to add interest,Continue reading “An Old (Young) Head.”

An Old Head….

I’ve been looking through old work, it’s surprising how much I’d forgotten about. Here’s one from 2010. I was enjoying working with chalk and soft pastels onto dark papers back then, on a large scale, this is size A2.

A Quick One.

I caught this quick sketch the other week at a birthday party, great place for a scribble because people are usually concentrating on chatting or listening to a band. I drew with a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen and a stick of Nitram charcoal into a small leather-bound sketchbook.

Flowery Frocks.

Husb and I went to a birthday party at the weekend and there were lots of flowery frocks in the room. I never wear frocks and I’m not used to seeing so many of them in one place, so of course, I had to scribble them in my tiny sketchbook with a Faber Castell PittContinue reading “Flowery Frocks.”
