I’m still finding these psychedelic watercolour life drawing as I’m trawling through old sketchbooks. I forgot I did so many. This is a tiny one, drawing and coloured into a tiny A6 Cotman watercolour pad, using Winsor & Newton half pan watercolours, artist quality, expensive but worth it. I used Faber Castell Pitt drawing pensContinue reading “Psychedelic Watercolour”

Naked Man On A Stool
Here’s another one from the archives. I still have a rotten cold and I haven’t done any drawing today because I’m wallowing in misery and grumbling for Wales! I went through a phase of doing these life drawings in watercolour and pens a while back, using Winsor & Newton paints, sable brushes and Faber CastellContinue reading “Naked Man On A Stool”
Psychedelic Male Nude
Here’s another of my watercolour nudes from quite a while back, about 7 years I think. Doesn’t time fly!!!! I stopped doing them because I thought I was getting into a rut, but looking back at this series recently, I really rather like this technique so I think I’ll prepare stretch some papersContinue reading “Psychedelic Male Nude”
Sun, Storm And A Nude
After the excitement of last night’s opening of our group exhibition, ‘People And Place’, Husb and I had a lazy day. We went for a walk in the sunshine and treated ourselves to lunch in a lovely local restaurant, Mosaic. It seems like I haven’t had a day off for ages. It’s not justContinue reading “Sun, Storm And A Nude”
Blue Nude Reflected
Here’s another from the archives, when I went through a watercolour phase at life drawing group. I like to use watercolour in a choppy fashion, more like a gouache. This older model used to be a dancer and has a very lithe body which is so interesting to draw, a bit like Egon Schiele’s models.Continue reading “Blue Nude Reflected”
More Digital Head
Here’s the second drawing I did at last week’s life drawing group at Swansea Print Workshop, working with an older female model. I used a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with a free Markers app. There’s a slideshow below showing the development of the drawing.
Jabbing My Finger
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop with a couple of studies of heads. Our model is a retiree and she’s been modelling for us for some years. I love drawing the faces of elders, so interesting and so much life written across them. I used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 withContinue reading “Jabbing My Finger”
Woman In A Ball
Some of my blog readers have asked to see more of the series of line and watercolour drawings I did a while back. They were all drawn during life drawing sessions at Swansea Print Workshop into an A3 Cotman watercolour spiral-bound sketchbook. The linework was done with a F.aber Castell Pitt drawing pen and IContinue reading “Woman In A Ball”
Cake, More Cake And A Head
Such a busy day. Putting up the new exhibition at Swansea Print Workshop this morning. It’s a gorgeous show of miniature prints from all over the world called Leftovers V. Then Husb and I went down for a much needed session on the allotment, loads of work to do but some harvesting too – potatoes,Continue reading “Cake, More Cake And A Head”
Colour Reflected
I did a series of life drawings a while back, doing linework with Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens and using my box of Winsor & Newton half pan artist watercolours to overlay colour washes in a choppy style. I posted one a couple of blogs ago and some people asked to see more. So here youContinue reading “Colour Reflected”
