I think I’ve posted all the work I did at my recent residency in Germany, where I worked mostly in black and white. Now I’m going to spend a bit of time having fun with the images and see what I can do with them in Adobe Photoshop. This is a section of the firstContinue reading “Multi-Coloured Angels.”

Dark. Strange. Otherworldly.
There was a time, not that long ago, when I would never have thought that I would be able to visit the German Democratic Republic. And then “The Wall” came down and here I was, just a few weeks ago, in what used to be East Germany, in the silent and dark countryside surrounded byContinue reading “Dark. Strange. Otherworldly.”
Sheep And Wolves In The Dark Silent Night…
I spent almost a week at the Atelierhof Werenzhaim in the town of Doberlug-Kirchhain in the former German Democratic Republic, between Berlin and Dresden and not far from the Polish border. The Atelierhof was out in the countryside, near forest and lakes in quite a Gothic setting. My accommodation was in an ancient stable block,Continue reading “Sheep And Wolves In The Dark Silent Night…”
Back To Baby Boomers
I started doing a series of 30 minute sketches of Baby Boomers a few months back. I’ve had to put them on the back burner for a while but I’ve restarted and I hope to get up to 50 in the next month……
Quick Kitty Scribbles
A couple of quick kitty scribbles done in Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens and charcoal into a little A6 sketchbook. Ming The Merciless is one of my favourite models. She’s an elderly one-eyed rescued cat who is nice as pie until she sees the cat basket because that only means one thing, a visit toContinue reading “Quick Kitty Scribbles”
Another Curry Quickie
Here’s another quick sketch I did the other evening at our local curry house, the incomparable Vojon. Sketching in public forces you to be quick and it also forces you to zone in on the essential details, which is really good practice. Drawn with a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen, size S into my littleContinue reading “Another Curry Quickie”
I’m A Little Teapot….
….short and stout. ….and a bit wonky! Today’s sketch is practice. People, animals and cityscapes are my comfort zone but practice should take me out of that so I am going to do some simple still life studies. I don’t like it. There’s not much wriggle room in drawing objects. Never mind. I drew thisContinue reading “I’m A Little Teapot….”
Looking At Leonardo
It’s been a busy weekend with our two 9 year old nephews staying over and a lengthy business meeting ths afternoon. Yes it’s a Sunday but I’m freelance so I don’t work regular hours. But I try to do a drawing a day for practice and discipline and I’ve been dipping into my Renaissance drawingContinue reading “Looking At Leonardo”
Ow! Ow! Ow!
I’ve done a lot of walking today, trying to find something to sketch but I was so distracted by the pain from the hideous gnatbites over my legs that I couldn’t find anything that sparked me enough to stop and draw. So I went home, sat down and drew my painful pustules. I’m trying notContinue reading “Ow! Ow! Ow!”
On The Other Hand…….
Just a quickie tonight as I’ve only just come back from life drawing and it’s nearly my bedtime! Sometimes, bits of body look really weird and this is one of those. The angle of the wrist made the hand look a bit disembodied. But that’s the way it was 🙂 Drawn onto hand-made heavyweight paperContinue reading “On The Other Hand…….”
