I did some more drawing on the settee this evening, taking inspiration from the series of drawings I did over the past year of neolithic stones in the South Wales landscape. I didn’t look at any of them though, I just let the mark-making flow at random. I rarely work like this, my comfort zoneContinue reading “Sofa Surfing Scribbles”

Stones, Scribbles, Settee.
I almost always draw from life but I sat on the settee last night and got down to scribbling . I didn’t think too much about it, just let it come and it’s obvious that I’m influenced at the moment by the drawings I’ve been doing of Neolithic stones over the past year. I usedContinue reading “Stones, Scribbles, Settee.”
More Than A Walk
I did another very quick sketch while walking in Penllegare Woods yesterday and worked into it some more when I came back. I think that took the emphasis off doing something detailed and instead allowed me to explore something more expressive through the mark making. I started with something rooted in reality but then tookContinue reading “More Than A Walk”
A Walk In The Woods
I went for a walk in the beautiful Penllegare Woods this morning. I was brilliant sunshine but also only just above freezing point, the low Winter sun threw deep shadows across the leaf-strewn paths. The sketch was quick, just a couple of minutes with conté crayons in black, sanguine and white. The speediness forced meContinue reading “A Walk In The Woods”
Strolling
Sometimes I have a quick scribble when I’m out strolling. Just a minute or so, hardly breaking my walk, using my white, sanguine and black conté crayons into an A4 brown paper sketchbook. This is a footpath under an old railway bridge near the seafront. I am putting my series of drawings ofContinue reading “Strolling”
Beacons
Driving back over the Brecon Beacons to Swansea, I did a quick sketch in the car, drawing an approximate image because we travelled too fast to do a detailed drawing.
From The Sugarloaf
There are two mountains called Sugarloaf in South Wales and Husb and I travelled up and down the nearest, on the A483 between Llanwrtyd Wells and Llandovery on our way to Builth Wells. We stopped at the picnic area to munch our cheese and pickle rolls (home-made green tomato chutney) and I spent a coupleContinue reading “From The Sugarloaf”
Swallows And Amazons
Husb and I spent a few days visiting family in The Lake District last week. We travelled around quite a bit; I was hoping to do a lot of drawing but it was freezing! (I’ve been called a Southern Softie for wimping out). Here’s one of the gorgeous views I would have scribbled if IContinue reading “Swallows And Amazons”
BBBRRRRR 2!!!!!
Husb and I spent a few days in The Lake District earlier this week and visited the stupendous Castlerigg stone circle near Keswick. I did a quick scribble, just a few seconds as it was so cold, freezing! I used conté crayons in white, sanguine and black into my A4 spiral bound brown paper sketchbook.Continue reading “BBBRRRRR 2!!!!!”
BBBBRRRRRRR!!!!!!
Husb and I spent a few days in the Lake District this week. It was freezing cold! Temperature dropped to about -4° Celsius at night. We went walking on Birkrigg Common and I did a quick sketch. Very quick as my hands rapidly became too cold to draw. It forces you to focus on theContinue reading “BBBBRRRRRRR!!!!!!”
