Normal Service Has Resumed …….

It’s October and it’s back to normal with life drawing, sketching, painting and printmaking. Through September I mostly blogged about my charity fundraiser, but now I’m going to be posting about my everyday arts practice so here goes with some of the life drawings that have been building up over the past month. I wasContinue reading “Normal Service Has Resumed …….”

Thank you for contributing

My September painting fundraiser for LATCH, The Children’s Cancer Charity, is now officially over. Thank you to all those who bought paintings and donated. Also to those who shared and cheered from the side-lines. We raised £850 from the paintings and I know there were also people who donated directly to LATCH. It’s been a fantastic month.Continue reading “Thank you for contributing”

Tomorrow Is The Last Day …..

Tomorrow is the last day of my fundraiser for LATCH: The Children’s Cancer Charity. September is Child Cancer Awareness Month and I chose to raise funds for LATCH because it is a wonderful, small, independent charity that has helped my young nephew throughout three and a half years of painful chemotherapy and surgery. These paintingsContinue reading “Tomorrow Is The Last Day …..”

The Red Tree At High Speed And A Cat

I painted this “fake” of Piet Mondrian’s “Evening: The Red Tree” recently and Husb made a time-lapse film of it – all done in under a minute – I wish!! Sparta Puss hung out with me while I painted. Here’s the video below. This is the last few days of my September fundraiser for LATCH:Continue reading “The Red Tree At High Speed And A Cat”

Pandemic, Paintings And Podcast

It’s the last few days to see my exhibition of “Pandemic Paintings” on Swansea Print Workshop’s digital gallery. It’s our September show and I’m chuffed to be showing the “fakes” I’ve done with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. Here are a few of them but there are plenty more in theContinue reading “Pandemic, Paintings And Podcast”

PODCAST: 10 PAINTINGS AND A CUPPA TEA

PODCAST SEPTEMBER 2021 Hiya, Rosie Scribblah here. http://www.scribblah.co.uk Welcome to my latest podcast. It’s called 10 Paintings – I don’t do long podcasts. Just enough time for a cuppa tea and a biscuit. Or a Welsh cake. This is about 10 paintings I have copied through lockdown. I’ve been following the Cheese and Wine PaintingContinue reading “PODCAST: 10 PAINTINGS AND A CUPPA TEA”

Scribbling On The Common

Husb and I had a few days away last week, cautiously enjoying the relaxation in lockdown rules. We spent some time in the Lake District and I did a bit of scribbling out walking on the glorious Birkrigg Common. I used Daler Rowney Artist’s Pastels onto hand made Khadi paper. I’m facing North West inContinue reading “Scribbling On The Common”

The Vulgar Painter?

Camille Pissarro was slightly older than most of the Impressionist artists in France and he was a bit of a father figure to them. Like the other Impressionists he was frustrated with conventional academic art so he worked outside “en plein air”, painting what was in front of him and finishing his paintings in oneContinue reading “The Vulgar Painter?”

Claude And Gwendoline

This is my painted copy of an original painting that’s here in Wales. It’s French Impressionist Claude Monet’s “San Giorgio Maggiore At Dusk“. He painted it in the first few years of the 20th Century, when he was quite elderly. He loved the sunsets in Venice and started his paintings there, but took them backContinue reading “Claude And Gwendoline”

Vincent Goes To The Seaside

These dynamic brushstrokes are from a “fake” I did of a painting by Vincent van Gogh, “Fishing Boats on the Beach at Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer“, which was painted when Vincent was living in Arles in the south of France and had a trip to the seaside for a week in 1888 to help with his health.Continue reading “Vincent Goes To The Seaside”
