I continued drawing with twigs and ink across my huge sheet of paper, gradually filling it with strange, twisted twig people. These are coming from my imagination now, I’m not thinking them into existence. I scribbled into some of them with the thin end of a bamboo dip pen, while the ink was still wet.Continue reading “Strange Twig People.”

Branching Out…
Groan!!! Please pardon the awful pun! After drawing lots of small figures on big paper with two types of bamboo pen, I went out into the gardens at Atelier Werenzhaim and picked up some twigs (branching out – get it?). I chose one and dipped it into the pot of ink, emptied my mind andContinue reading “Branching Out…”
Go Big
I carried on with my little repetitive drawings on very large paper. It’s funny, last time I came to Germany I was inspired when I got back home to do huge drawings and now I’m in Germany working on huge paper again. I wonder why? Today I used the other end of the bamboo dipContinue reading “Go Big”
Free The Mind
I’ve been at Atelierhof Werenzhaim for 2 days now, working in a studio that was once stables. I’ve been experimenting with drawing in ink onto very large paper. I continued the technique from my last post, when I was drawing in Dresden. I just emptied my head of thoughts and allowed my hand and penContinue reading “Free The Mind”
What Lurks Beneath?
I sat quietly in a park under the shade of a tree in Dresden. The temperature was 32°C and the other artists on the residency were visiting a museum. I decided to sit and draw, but not the view in front of me, which is what I normally do when I travel. Instead, I emptiedContinue reading “What Lurks Beneath?”
Sketching Sculpture
I spent a couple of days in Dresden as part of my residency with the Agor Abertawe group and went to a free outdoor concert in the Neumarkt. I did some sketches of a fascinating sculpture. I haven’t found out the name of the artist yet, I’ll track it down and add it to theContinue reading “Sketching Sculpture”
Solemn Stones
I wasn’t sure about visiting the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe for a third time, but I reasoned that my first visit had been in deepest Winter when it was covered in snow. My second was in late Spring, the weather mild, the sunlight kind. Today is high Summer, very hot, brilliant sunshine,Continue reading “Solemn Stones”
Travelling is half the fun
The picture below was taken at Cologne Station en route to Berlin. It’s Cologne Cathedral taken through the station roof. The German trains are lovely and the train food is fantastic. I’m in Germany on an artist residency with three other Welsh women artists, Chris Bird-Jones, Sarah Hopkins and Rhiannon Rees with support from WalesContinue reading “Travelling is half the fun”
It’s A Dirty Job…
I’m heading to Germany in a few days, to do an artist residency with three other Welsh women artists, Chris Bird-Jones, Sarah Hopkins and Rhiannon Rees. We are all members of AGOR Abertawe, that has been set up to facilitate creative activity between women artists in Swansea / South Wales, and the Brandenburg area. We’llContinue reading “It’s A Dirty Job…”
A Day Out In Mid Wales…
Husb and I went for a drive over the weekend and wound up in the little village of Llanddewi Brefi and then onto the small town of Tregaron. We stopped for a soft drink in a local pub and I drew this fantastic inglenook fireplace. The drawing of Husb is awful, he’s much better looking,Continue reading “A Day Out In Mid Wales…”
