I’m playing with Adobe Photoshop (Gradient Map) and some of the charcoal drawings I did during the first lockdown 2 years ago. The originals are in black and white using charcoal into a Khadi sketchbook. They were done one by one on the daily walk that Husb and I took through city parks when weContinue reading “Playing With Drawings #4”

Thundery Crags
This is the last of the outdoor sketches I did in my recent stay in The Lake District. We stopped a while up in the mountains while younger relatives swam in the river – it was WAY too cold for me – so I sat and sketched with Derwent Inktense blocks into a Khadi landscapeContinue reading “Thundery Crags”
More Mountains.
With Husb in The Lake District and there are so many mountains I don’t have to search for them. I’m drawing so many that I could almost do it with my eyes shut!
Wet Scribbling.
Husb and I spent a few days in The Lake District, visiting people and enjoying the beauty and quiet of the place. I took my Derwent Inktense blocks, a landscape Khadi sketchbook, a Daler Rowney reservoir brush and sat a while sketching. First off, I did a quick sketch with the Inktense blocks, using themContinue reading “Wet Scribbling.”
Adding Colour 2
I’m carrying on working into my sketchbooks, developing the drawings in a way I’ve never done before. I used to scribble, turn the page, then forget them. I did a series of sketches a theatrical event about 4 years ago, Now The Hero / Nawr Yr Arwr. The performers / dancers were enveloped in aContinue reading “Adding Colour 2”
Finger Painting Up A Mountain.
I went on a hike up the Brecon Beacons earlier today, a circular walk beginning and ending in Craig y Nos. It was a hefty jaunt and we had a stop for a bite to eat up on the mountain, where I did a bit of sketching with Derwent Inktense blocks onto a heavy KhadiContinue reading “Finger Painting Up A Mountain.”
Adding Colour 1.
More and more I’m going through sketchbooks and working into some of the drawings I did a while back. My sketchbooks tend to be full of spontaneous scribbles and when I’ve done one, I turn the page and forget about it. So lately I’ve started trawling through them to see what turns up. This isContinue reading “Adding Colour 1.”
Playing With Drawings 3
I’m playing with Adobe Photoshop and some of the charcoal drawings I did during the first lockdown 2 years ago, using Gradient Map and a selection of Artistic Filters. The originals are in black and white and it’s expanding my imagination to change them into colour and try out some different effects. I suppose inContinue reading “Playing With Drawings 3”
Playing With Drawings 2
I’ve been looking at some of my sketchbooks and having a digital play with some of the drawings. I don’t normally do that, I usually scribble and then leave them, but lately I’ve been going back to them, seeing if they trigger any ideas. I take digital photos of all my sketches and I uploadedContinue reading “Playing With Drawings 2”
Playing With Drawings 1.
I’ve been looking at some of my sketchbooks and having a digital play with some of the drawings. I don’t normally do that, I usually scribble and then leave them, but lately I’ve been thinking about working from them, lots of other artists do. Trying Different Effects I take digital photos of all my sketchesContinue reading “Playing With Drawings 1.”
