I’m playing around with Adobe Photoshop and some of the charcoal drawings I did back in the early days of lockdown in 2020, when we just had an hour a day out of our houses. Back then, the drawings looked quite grim to me, in stark black and white on heavy textured Khadi paper, whichContinue reading “Playing With Drawings #5”

Playing With Drawings #4
I’m playing with Adobe Photoshop (Gradient Map) and some of the charcoal drawings I did during the first lockdown 2 years ago. The originals are in black and white using charcoal into a Khadi sketchbook. They were done one by one on the daily walk that Husb and I took through city parks when weContinue reading “Playing With Drawings #4”
Playing With Drawings 3
I’m playing with Adobe Photoshop and some of the charcoal drawings I did during the first lockdown 2 years ago, using Gradient Map and a selection of Artistic Filters. The originals are in black and white and it’s expanding my imagination to change them into colour and try out some different effects. I suppose inContinue reading “Playing With Drawings 3”
Playing With Drawings 2
I’ve been looking at some of my sketchbooks and having a digital play with some of the drawings. I don’t normally do that, I usually scribble and then leave them, but lately I’ve been going back to them, seeing if they trigger any ideas. I take digital photos of all my sketches and I uploadedContinue reading “Playing With Drawings 2”
Playing With Drawings 1.
I’ve been looking at some of my sketchbooks and having a digital play with some of the drawings. I don’t normally do that, I usually scribble and then leave them, but lately I’ve been thinking about working from them, lots of other artists do. Trying Different Effects I take digital photos of all my sketchesContinue reading “Playing With Drawings 1.”
Scribbling In The Gallery
Today was the start of the Swansea Open 2021 show at the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery. It’s been going for many years but had to be put on hold last year because of Covid19. There’s usually a big opening event but this year people had to book time slots and although it was busy, itContinue reading “Scribbling In The Gallery”
Painting A Hockney In Under A Minute
Here’s a timelapse film of me painting a copy of Yorkshire Wolds by David Hockney in under a minute. It took me a lot longer in real life! It’s one of my pandemic lockdown paintings that I’ve been doing through the past 16 months or so with the Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook.Continue reading “Painting A Hockney In Under A Minute”
Tidying Up
I did a painting of Sparta Puss way back towards the beginning of The Pandemic Lockdown early last year, something a bit fun to put into my window to entertain people out on their regulation 1 hour a day walks. I did it very quickly and now I’m thinking of entering it for an exhibition.Continue reading “Tidying Up”
Faffing With Vincent’s Bedroom
I’ve been doing one of Ed Sumner’s Zoom tutorials this evening, copying van Gogh’s painting of his bedroom. It’s a two hour session and it’s mostly done but it needs a bit more faffing, maybe another couple of hours. But not tonight, it’s late so I’m off to bed. Nos da, good night 🙂
Friday Faking A Matisse
It’s Friday so it faking a masterpiece day, with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. He started it at the beginning of the first lockdown in March 2020 and has carried on, I think we’re up to about 60 weeks now. This is a nude study by Henri Matisse. I used LiquitexContinue reading “Friday Faking A Matisse”
