Crikey! This heatwave is getting a bit much. It’s cooler in the house than outside so I’ve been a bit like a cave-dwelling troll today, avoiding the intense sunshine outside. Still sweated cobs though. I did a load of prep for screenprinting. I put some designs onto screens with Speedball drawing fluid and got themContinue reading “Prepping And Perspiration!”

#StandingStoneSunday 1.
There’s such a thing as Standing Stone Sunday over on Twitter so I’m posting a drawing and video from my travels with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams a few years back. We tracked many of the Neolithic and Bronze Age standing stones across South Wales as Dewi was researching for his new bookContinue reading “#StandingStoneSunday 1.”
Scribbling In A Heatwave.
Husb and I ventured out into the blistering heat later this afternoon, strolled into town and called into the cafe by the new park for a cool drink. There was a family playing ping pong so I had a quick scribble en plein air. Very quick, just enough to sketch out the basic components ofContinue reading “Scribbling In A Heatwave.”
Ancient Fast Food Outlets Up A Mountain (with short video).
I’ve been looking though my YouTube channel and remembered the day I went up Mynydd Llangyndeyrn, a mountain with ancient stones, in Carmarthenshire. I was travelling around Wales with pre-historian, wit and raconteur Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams. Dewi was doing field research for his new book, Melvyn was filming him and I decidedContinue reading “Ancient Fast Food Outlets Up A Mountain (with short video).”
Scribbling The Music #2
Here’s another speedy sketch I did at the Windshake gig at Elysium last weekend. The lead singer is very fast moving so I had to scribble quickly. Really fab band, loved the gig. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a younger relative of mine, to have life-changing surgery in Spain. Phil is disabledContinue reading “Scribbling The Music #2”
Back To Basics #2
I carried on working on the colour theory mandala I started last week. It doesn’t do any harm to get back to basics now and again. I’m focusing on mixing colours at the moment but when they’re all in place, I’ll pay attention to the brushwork – it’s a bit rough. I’m using Daler RowneyContinue reading “Back To Basics #2”
Scribbling The Music #1
I like going to gigs and I like sketching. I like sketching at gigs. Scribbling members of the audience is usually relatively easy as they’re normally absorbed in the music – unless there’s a mosh pit going on! Now and again I try drawing the musicians, which is often harder because they tend to moveContinue reading “Scribbling The Music #1”
Spotting a character
When I’m sketching en plein air, it’s great when an unusual character comes along. It’s nice drawing anyone, but now and again someone exceptional appears. This guy was really getting into the band Windshake at the Elysium Bar the other evening. So I scribbled him. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, aContinue reading “Spotting a character”
Another Face In The Place.
Here’s another quick scribble I did last night into my sketchbook, at the Elysium Bar. Husb and I went to see singer songwriter Tom Emlyn and folk psychedelia band Windshake – great musicians all. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a younger relative of mine, to have life-changing surgery in Spain. PhilContinue reading “Another Face In The Place.”
A Quickie In The Pub
Husb and I went to the Elysium Bar this evening for some live music and of course, I had to have a quick scribble. There were plenty of interesting faces for me to sketch. Hats, glasses and beards are always a bit difficult and this chap had all three. Raising Funds. My family is raisingContinue reading “A Quickie In The Pub”
