Husb and I spent a few days in The Lake District last week, in the lovely little town of Ulverston. Husb joined some of our young relatives on the climbing wall. The technique is called bouldering and I’d never heard of it before. Of course, I had to have a scribble. It was a greatContinue reading “Scribbling Bouldering 1.”

#Caturday Archives 7
It’s Saturday/Caturday once again and here’s my earliest drawing of Sparta Puss, when she was a little kitten (she’s 13 now). A friend noticed the sinister arrangement of fur on her forehead, it looks a bit like a skull head. She nicknamed her “The Third Kitten of the Apocalypse”. Luckily the strange markings changed asContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 7”
Thundery Crags
This is the last of the outdoor sketches I did in my recent stay in The Lake District. We stopped a while up in the mountains while younger relatives swam in the river – it was WAY too cold for me – so I sat and sketched with Derwent Inktense blocks into a Khadi landscapeContinue reading “Thundery Crags”
More Mountains.
With Husb in The Lake District and there are so many mountains I don’t have to search for them. I’m drawing so many that I could almost do it with my eyes shut!
Wet Scribbling.
Husb and I spent a few days in The Lake District, visiting people and enjoying the beauty and quiet of the place. I took my Derwent Inktense blocks, a landscape Khadi sketchbook, a Daler Rowney reservoir brush and sat a while sketching. First off, I did a quick sketch with the Inktense blocks, using themContinue reading “Wet Scribbling.”
Another Hairy Head.
Husb and I went to The Lyric Theatre in Carmarthen last week to see “Operation Julie – A Rock Musical” – it was brilliant. It’s based on a true story that happened in Wales in the 1970s and the audience was mostly – erm – of a certain age – like me and Husb 😀Continue reading “Another Hairy Head.”
The Biggest Bust
Husb and I went along to Carmarthen last Friday evening, to the Lyric Theatre to see Theatr naNog’s new show, Operation Julie – a Rock Musical. It was FANTASTIC! Of course, I had to have a scribble of the audience – with a ballpoint pen into my leatherbound A5 sketchbook. Billed as “Breaking Bad meetsContinue reading “The Biggest Bust”
#Caturday Archives 6
It’s Saturday / Caturday again and here’s an archive kitty drawing. This naughty cat is a very young Sparta Puss and Husb caught her expression perfectly. He used a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with a free drawing app called “Markers”.
Just Some Tweaking
I’ve done a little bit more work on this painted portrait I started a while back. It’s based on sketchbook drawings of my young relative. It’s been quite a learning experience as I’ve only started painting seriously since the Covid19 lockdown started – I’m a printmaker and scribbler. But I’m pleased with the way it’sContinue reading “Just Some Tweaking”
Adding Colour 2
I’m carrying on working into my sketchbooks, developing the drawings in a way I’ve never done before. I used to scribble, turn the page, then forget them. I did a series of sketches a theatrical event about 4 years ago, Now The Hero / Nawr Yr Arwr. The performers / dancers were enveloped in aContinue reading “Adding Colour 2”
