The Lord, The Warrior And The Welsh Cake
It’s been an exciting day. I shook hands with a lord, hung out with a Celtic warrior, sipped tea and ate a Welsh cake in an art deco temple in Swansea, and watched a film about my model and me. Here it is…. I’ve been involved in this expansive art project, Nawr Yr Arwr /Continue reading “The Lord, The Warrior And The Welsh Cake”
Strong Face, Big Character
I sometimes do some portrait practice at life drawing sessions and I had a go at Swansea Print Workshop last night.

Ooof! Hard Hands!
Almost at the end of the life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop and I spent the last few minutes drawing the model’s hand. There was some quite severe foreshortening and it was hard.

Another Life Drawing (Female Nude)
Here’s the second study I did at life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop in the week. I worked on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 using a free app called Markers.

Just Back (Female Nude)
I’m just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop, working this week with a super middle-aged female model who has great presence. I was reading a blog about the relationship between artists and models by fellow artist Michael Richards earlier today, where he explores the collaboration between the two. It’s a good read.Continue reading “Just Back (Female Nude)”
Life Drawing And Cherry Coconut Cake
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop, where I used my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet and a free Markers app to draw this evening’s model. I started differently, scribbling random colours over the background, picking out the figure roughly in larger blocks of light colours and finishing with a fine pen function.Continue reading “Life Drawing And Cherry Coconut Cake”
