Husb and I went to a neighbour’s party a couple of days into the New Year, it was lovely. There was lots of live music and our hostess played the piano with her granddaughter and provided song-sheets for guests to sing along. Great fun. Lots of traditional carols and some rousing classics sung with gustoContinue reading “The Piano Players”

The First Of The New Year
Husb and I popped along to a neighbour’s party a couple of days into the New Year and the Ffynone Mari Lwyd arrived! So I had to have a scribble, didn’t I? She’s a particularly mischievous Mari Lwyd.
The Last Of The Old Year
I went up to Elysium for New Year’s Eve with Husb and SIL and had a fab time. I did a bit of scribbling, of course, in pencil into my size A6 Indigo-bound sketchbook, the last of 2025.

I was one of the “Live” sketchers at this year’s Swansea Fringe, and here’s one of the musicians at Elysium on the first night, in a band called Whilbur. I used graphite onto a thick vintage paper (not watermarked), a water reservoir brush and Derwent Inktense blocks.

I used graphite onto a thick vintage paper (not watermarked), a water reservoir brush and Derwent Inktense blocks. That violin was REALLY HARD to draw.

“Live” sketching at this year’s Swansea Fringe, and here’s one of the Rainyday Rainbow musicians at Elysium on the first night. He looked a bit like a cartoon character in real life, I thought, so I drew him like that. I used graphite onto a thick vintage paper (not watermarked), a water reservoir brush and a DerwentContinue reading “At The Swansea Fringe: 2”
At The Swansea Fringe: 1
I did a lot of “live” sketching at this year’s Swansea Fringe, it’s the fourth year I’ve done it and I love it. I get to go to any venue I want, see any act I want and scribble them with official approval. It’s great. Here’s Tokomololo at Tŷ Tawe. I drew him in graphite ontoContinue reading “At The Swansea Fringe: 1”
