I went out sketching today, for one hour precisely, at the same time as last week. I’m working on a new art project but I can’t go into any details yet ….. watch this space. I’m making quick little sketches en plein air into a new pocket sketchbook. This will develop into a substantial amountContinue reading “Little Scribbles At The Same Time”

No Life Drawing Tonight
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: Epic Scenery In 36 Seconds
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 me sittingContinue reading “Monday Video: Epic Scenery In 36 Seconds”
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”
A Scribble And A Cuppa And Some Wonderful Young People
For many years I’ve loved popping into the cafe in Waterstones in Swansea, now and again, for a coffee and a scribble. There are usually plenty of people in there, relaxing and reading their new books, so it’s a good place to sketch. I really missed this after a few months into lockdown. It’s funnyContinue reading “A Scribble And A Cuppa And Some Wonderful Young People”
Queueing And Scribbling
A big national company bought out a load of post offices and set them up in their city centre shops. So now there are no little post offices in the city centre. But the big company doesn’t seem keen to employ enough staff to serve in their central post office so there are always hugeContinue reading “Queueing And Scribbling”
Crowd Surf My Coffin
Oh WOW! It was so good to be at a live gig this week, Skindred at The Tramshed in Cardiff, first gig in over 18 months. It was AWESOME! I was so energised and danced and bounced for hours (killed me for the next two days though). But I still found a bit of timeContinue reading “Crowd Surf My Coffin”
