I’m usually at life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop on Thursday nights, but Husb and I are isolating at the moment, waiting for the result of a Covid19 test as we’ve been in close contact with someone who has tested positive. So here’s another couple of little en plein air sketches from my new pocketContinue reading “No Life Drawing Tonight”

More Strolling And Scribbling
Here’s another couple of pages from my recently started pocket sketchbook, strolling the streets, scribbling on Sunday. Ooooh get that alliteration! I’m just walking and looking at the moment, jotting down sketches and notes of anything that catches my interest. Let’s see where this takes me …… My lovely nephew (in the middle) along withContinue reading “More Strolling And Scribbling”
My New Sketchbook
I took my new pocket sketchbook out for it’s first outing yesterday and walked, sketching as I went. I want to get back in the habit of drawing in the street, en plein air. I used to do loads but the Covid19 lockdown put a stop to that. I want to spend some time walkingContinue reading “My New Sketchbook”
Monday Video: Working With My Muses [1]
I’ve been browsing my YouTube channel and I’d forgotten a lot of the stuff on there, especially the earlier films. So I thought I’d spend the next few Mondays posting some of my art videos. Husb is the tecchie filmie person in the household and he puts these short films together. This is created fromContinue reading “Monday Video: Working With My Muses [1]”
Taking Liberties
Here’s the longer pose (one hour) from this week’s life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. The previous drawings in the session had been quite academic, in conte crayon, and I really wanted to let go a bit so I grabbed a much bigger sheet of paper and some Daler Rowney oil pastels and focusedContinue reading “Taking Liberties”
Draw What You See …..
Here’s a longer pose from this week’s life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop, 30 minutes, using conte crayons in sanguine and black onto cartridge paper. There’s some pretty extreme foreshortening with this and her left foot was at an odd angle so the shape of it is really weird, but I kept checking and it’sContinue reading “Draw What You See …..”

Not All Bish Bash Bosh
There are some odd ideas out there about what it is that artists do, how we make a work of art. Many seem to think that we get the materials together and Bish Bash Bosh, there it is on the canvas, or the plinth, or hot off the printing press. But the reality is lotsContinue reading “Not All Bish Bash Bosh”
Scribbling In The Wind
Nice day so went for a walk out of the city, along the Pennard Pill valley route to Three Cliffs Bay. It was cloudy and very windy so I only stopped to do a quick scribble, with Daler Rowney soft pastels onto Khadi paper. There’s a stone spiral, called by locals “the labyrinth” where theContinue reading “Scribbling In The Wind”
Giving It A Go
It’s almost half a century since I rocked up, in flares and platforms, at the Foundation Course in Swansea Art School, determined to be a painter. Then I did the module in printmaking and retired my paintbrushes. Until the pandemic lockdown started in Spring last year. We were only allowed out of the house forContinue reading “Giving It A Go”
