Here are a couple more paintings done by participants at GS Artists in Swansea, as part of their excellent 9to90 Community Arts programme. We did BIG and MESSY acrylic paintings with tennis-themed life size figures. Paint was applied with sponges, bath scrunchies and occasionally even big paint brushes.

Big And Messy!
I did some teaching this week, with a group of adults at GS Artists in Swansea as part of their excellent 9to90 Community Arts programme. We did BIG acrylic paintings with life size figures and a tennis theme for Summer. And it was MESSY! Loved it! I started out by getting people to draw around each others bodies toContinue reading “Big And Messy!”
Flowery Frocks.
Husb and I went to a birthday party at the weekend and there were lots of flowery frocks in the room. I never wear frocks and I’m not used to seeing so many of them in one place, so of course, I had to scribble them in my tiny sketchbook with a Faber Castell PittContinue reading “Flowery Frocks.”
One From Behind ….
I was out at a ‘do’ the other evening and I did a few scribbles. There was this very stocky bloke sitting nearby. The ‘do’ was in a Rugby Club and I’m guessing from his build that he was a player. I used Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens, sizes S and M, and Nitram charcoalContinue reading “One From Behind ….”
The Last Of The Annual Cockling.
Here’s the final tiny quick sketches I did in my little leather-bound sketchbook on Sunday. I was at Rosehill Quarry’s annual meet-up to tidy the Cretan Labyrinth. Each year the edges need to be recut, the old trampled cockle shells removed and new ones laid. The labyrinth was cut in 1987 when Swansea’s Rosehill Quarry wasContinue reading “The Last Of The Annual Cockling.”
More From The Annual Cockling.
A couple of very quick little sketches from the annual labyrinth maintenance at Rosehill Quarry. I had to work quickly because people moved fast. Very good practice though
The Annual Cockling.
Back in 1987 a Labyrinth was cut into the turf in Swansea’s Rosehill Quarry, a unique urban wildlife park. It was installed by Bob Shaw and local author and pre-historian Dewi Bowen. It’s based on an ancient Cretan design and the incised path is filled with crushed cockle shells that are a by-product of the localContinue reading “The Annual Cockling.”
Up The Rugby Club: 1.
Husb and I went to a birthday bash this evening for some friends who are both 50, in a local rugby club. It was fun, a buffet with cocktail pasties, mini sausage rolls and coronation chicken sarnies. And the rambunctious Green Dragon Band playing crowd pleasers that filled the dance floor. Great stuff. Of course,Continue reading “Up The Rugby Club: 1.”
Metal Legs: 6.
And here’s the last of the Heavy Metal legs in my little sketchbook. This is a very scribbly pair of legs. The hot summer is bringing out the shorts and I get to see close up just how big men’s feet really are when they’re not partially covered with the bottom of trousers.
Metal Legs: 5.
And even more legs in shorts from the Suns of Thunder gig at Elysium last week. The sunshine is bringing them out! In my tiny leatherbound sketchbook using Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen (size S) and nitrile charcoal stick.
