I grabbed the twigs I picked up from the path on my recent walk at Ilston and some square Khadi paper that I’d “attacked” with some of my home-made walnut ink. I also have a bottle of Indian ink that had dried out over the years but I added some water and left it toContinue reading “The Faces Emerge.”

A Short Film Of A Drawing.
Here is a short film (made by Husb) of a drawing I did on my recent residency in Germany during the first day in Berlin, before we went to the Atelier Werenzhain.
Lovely Jubbly (Fun With Teaching).
I love adult education. So much fun. I was working with a small group this afternoon in a community garden. I demonstrated the effects you can get with some pieces of plants, acrylic paint and Gelli-Plates. By doing a demo, I get to play with the materials too. Lovely Jubbly.
A Pakistan Journey In Print:1
Way back in 2007 I was lucky to travel to Pakistan for a two-week visit with friends from Wales, Denmark and Pakistan. It was a fantastic journey, the country is so geographically and culturally varied, the people kind and friendly. I sketched as I normally do and when I came back to Wales I workedContinue reading “A Pakistan Journey In Print:1”
Sketchbook Archives: 7
Here’s a selection of sketches I first posted in March 2012, although they weren’t all drawn then. I began blogging in July 2011 to post my sketchbook drawings, so I was picking out examples going back years. These are drawings en plein air. I seemed to do a lot more back then. I think IContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 7”
Heavy Paper!
I have a block of 20 sheets of heavy textured Khadi hand-made Indian paper. I’ve had it around the place for a few years now, not sure what to do with it. I took a similar block with me on my recent residency in Germany and started drawing onto it with twigs dipped in ink.Continue reading “Heavy Paper!”
Random And Open.
Husb and I went for a walk recently, from Ilston to Parkmill on the Gower Peninsula, a very atmospheric route through woods and along the tree-lined river. I didn’t do any sketching on the walk, I focused on soaking up the mood of my surroundings. I held on to those feelings today and, working withContinue reading “Random And Open.”
Joio! Enjoy!
The mini-festival that Husb and I went to over the weekend is part of the annual Swansea Bay Live events characterised by the logo “Joio / Enjoy”, put on by Swansea Council during holiday times. I had a few scribbles while I was listening to the excellent local band Disco Panther.
Blokes At A Festival.
I spotted these three blokes of a certain age at the Amplitude Festival, a weekend of films and bands at Swansea’s Amphitheatre. They were having a nice time. Of course I had to scribble them. I love sketching at gigs, the music makes it seem like it’s not like hard work. It is, but the music takesContinue reading “Blokes At A Festival.”
Forty Years Later…
There’s an amphitheatre behind the leisure centre in Swansea and back in the 1980s there were loads of free live gigs there. Then for some unknown reason they stopped and the amphitheatre has been empty and forlorn since the mid-80s. Until this Friday when Swansea citizens have been treated to a weekend of films andContinue reading “Forty Years Later…”
