Here’s a short film that Husb made of one of my adult teaching sessions at GS Artists in Swansea, part of the 9to90 Community Arts programme, originated and organised by the artist Jane Simpson. It’s a 2 hour session edited down to under 2 minutes.

The Guitarist …
Husb and I went to a gig on Saturday, but more of that another day. I had to have a scribble, of course, and I spotted this young guitarist who had a really unusual look, so I sketched her.
Rhythms In The Garden ….
Every year, a chum holds a garden party on her birthday. Her organic garden is fantastic, hewn from a steep and uncompromising hillside, every inch of ground packed with exquisite flora. No flashy architectural hard landscaping, no astroturf, just the outcome of years of hard work and a great love of plants. I don’t findContinue reading “Rhythms In The Garden ….”
Charcoal Drawing: A “How To” Film.
Here’s a short “How To” film from a recent drawing session I ran at GS Artists in Swansea, as part of their 9to90 Community Arts programme. We did HUGE charcoal drawings onto big rolls of paper on the wall and the film shows all the mark-making we did. It was MESSY 😀 Here’s the filmContinue reading “Charcoal Drawing: A “How To” Film.”

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a drawing from my sketch archives, I guess about 7 or 8 years ago. I had a very comfy Ikea Poang chair at the time but Sparta Puss liked it as much as I did. Guess who won out on this particular evening? I drew into my sketchbook withContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 18”

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a blast from the past, Sparta Puss back in 2016. She has a range of expressions but this sulky, slightly annoyed one is a favourite of hers.

It’s #Caturday Saturday once again and here’s a drawing from ages ago when I was still using Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens. I don’t really know why I stopped, I generally use ballpoint pen now in my sketchbooks. I was chilling one evening with Sparta Puss stretched out on my lap, wearing some snazzy leggingsContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 16”

It’s Saturday / Caturday again and here’s another from my cat drawing archives, our youngest, Sparta Puss, aka Sparty Pants, Spartsy and Tyrant. She’s drawn with conte crayons in black, white and sanguine into a brown paper sketchbook.

It’s Saturday #Caturday again and here are some kitty drawings from my sketchbook archives. Sparta Puss was dozing on top of the boiler in the kitchen in front of the window. It’s Spring and the amelanchier tree in the background is blooming and the washing is being dried with solar power.

It’s Saturday #Caturday again and here are some kitty drawings from my sketchbook archives. Sparta Puss was sleeping on my lap so I did a few quick sketches of her, all on the same page, trying to capture the essence of her cattitude rather than doing a detailed drawing. I like the way the scribblesContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 10”
