We had two young relatives visiting this evening so we took them for a curry at the local curry house, The Vojon. Fantastic food there. Had a Handi Lamb Polongwala and garlic rice. mmmmmmm. I did some quick sketching of people nearby in my little A6 spotty sketchbook with a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen,Continue reading “Curry and Sketching”

Quickie In The Curry House
A young relative did well in her recent G.C.S.Es and deserved a curry, so we went to our favourite curry house, the most excellent Vojon, and after took a spin to Mumbles for an ice cream. I managed a quick sketch in the Vojon, in between mouthfuls of Handi lamb Polongwala.
Drawing In The Dark
Husb and I took two little relatives to the cinema to see the first episode of the new Doctor Who series this evening. I had a quick scribble in the darkness. I could see the faces in the light from the big screen, but couldn’t see my sketchbook. It’s a good exercise. Earlier we stoppedContinue reading “Drawing In The Dark”
Slumped In The Sand
Husb and I have taken a few days off work for a bit of a holiday and have never been busier! We have had some little relatives staying and that’s when we realise the advantages of living near the sea. Small children love the beach, it’s free and there are plenty of people to sketchContinue reading “Slumped In The Sand”
Attila the Hunny
Husb and I went on a family visit this evening and I got my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 out to scribble the dog, Attila the Hunny. Of course, as soon as I started drawing her, she started fidgeting and kept turning her back on me. If she’d been a cat, she’d have posed, turningContinue reading “Attila the Hunny”
Practice Makes Perfect (Maybe)
I’m having a quick scribble with Husb sat opposite on the settee. I’m using my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note with the free Markers app. One advantage of doing a digital drawing is that I can save the stages to show how the drawing develops. It’s not a good likeness but daily drawing is about practice,Continue reading “Practice Makes Perfect (Maybe)”
Day 8: Fast Face
Been busy all day having fun with 2 little nephews having a sleepover so just managed a very quick digital sketch of a face from my Renaissance Drawing book by Hugo Chapman. Did it in about 4 minutes on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet with a free Marker app. You have to lay down a backgroundContinue reading “Day 8: Fast Face”
Public Pop Ups
The 15 Hundred Lives art collective that I’m a member of has been doing these 2-day events monthly in Swansea since the summer, partly to get the benfits of working in a large space with other artists. But also to open up the process to the public. We are committed to democratising art and gettingContinue reading “Public Pop Ups”
Speedy Sprogs
Today, Husb and I went to a family Xmas party which was overrun with sprogs and ankle-biters. I was put on tattoo duty, applying temporary tatts to tiny arms and faces but had a chance to scribble during lulls in demand for skin decor. The trouble with sprogs at a party is that they areContinue reading “Speedy Sprogs”
Mongrel Scribbles
Had a hectic few days and I’m behind with my blog so I’m playing catch-up. I went to a small relative’s brithday party recently and the family dog decided she loved me. So, unwilling as I am to pass up any opportunity for a cribble, I sketched her. She was very fidgety because the roomContinue reading “Mongrel Scribbles”
