Husb has been searching around for a free digital drawing programme for me, to replace the “Markers” I used on my old Samsung Galaxy 8 tablet. He found “Concepts” so I’m giving it a tryout. I did this very quick scribble in a darkened room while Husb watched the TV. It’s got potential, not badContinue reading “Digital Tryout.”

Scribbling In The Elysium Gallery Bar.
Here’s the last of the sketches I did in Elysium Bar the other evening. Gigs are good for scribbling because people are generally focused on the performers and keep reasonably still. Tom Emlyn and Sarah Passmore were playing – check them out, they’re fab. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a youngerContinue reading “Scribbling In The Elysium Gallery Bar.”
Talking Heads
Here’s another of my sketchbook drawings from the Elysium Bar the other evening, two friends engrossed in talking. Lovely. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a younger relative of mine, to have life-changing surgery in Spain. Phil is disabled by Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and the operation he needs isn’t currently available in the UK.Continue reading “Talking Heads”
An Interesting Head.
Another little scribble from Friday night at the Elysium Gallery bar. Husb and I went to see some live music – Tom Emlyn and Sarah Passmore – it was good. I spotted this very interesting head in the audience. So I had to draw them didn’t I? Raising Funds. My family is raising money forContinue reading “An Interesting Head.”
Little Boy, Big Hat.
I spent a few happy hours at GS Artists today, at the opening of their next series of 9-to-90 community art events (in partnership with HARBWR Arts On Prescription). Of course, I had to have a scribble. There was a sweet little boy sitting opposite me, engrossed in his drawing. He had a big, brightContinue reading “Little Boy, Big Hat.”
Getting Nearer.
I did some more work on the “celebrity” portrait I started recently, using my new-ish pastels from the Lake District. I don’t normally work from photos or do celebs, but I need a lot of practice to try out these as they’re much softer than I’m used to. The likeness is getting nearer but notContinue reading “Getting Nearer.”
Who Is It?
I don’t generally draw celebrities but I was trying out my new pastels and there wasn’t anyone in the house so I grabbed a photo off the Internet and started scribbling their likeness. Here’s the halfway point – can you see who it is yet? Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, aContinue reading “Who Is It?”
Face Across A Room – 4.
Here’s another quick sketch when I was out and about. This time, I tried scribbling someone who was talking. It’s good practice as I have to cope with a face in constant motion. I used a ballpoint pen into my A5 leather-bound sketchbook. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a younger relativeContinue reading “Face Across A Room – 4.”
Face Across A Room 3.
Another interesting face scribbled across a bar on Friday night, with a ballpoint pen into my A5 sketchbook. I love doing this, capturing these little still moments in people’s lives. Does that make me a voyeur? Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a younger relative of mine, to have life-changing surgery inContinue reading “Face Across A Room 3.”
Face Across A Room 2
Out on Friday night, saw an interesting face across the bar, had to have a scribble didn’t I? With a ballpoint pen into my leather-bound A5 sketchbook. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a younger relative of mine, to have life-changing surgery in Spain. Phil is disabled by Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and the operationContinue reading “Face Across A Room 2”
