It’s Saturday / #Caturday and here’s another from my kitty archives. This is Little Ming, our floofy tortoiseshell rescue cat, now sadly no longer with us. But she was 18 when she died which was really good considering the awful life she started out with, poor little mite. Here she is lying on top ofContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 4”

Standing Stone Sunday 3.
It’s #StandingStoneSunday on social media again and here’s a drawing/painting I did en plein air of the Bronze Age Bryn-y-Rhyd standing stone in Carmarthenshire near Llanedi. It was early on in my journeys across South Wales with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams, about 5 or 6 years ago now. I was only supposedContinue reading “Standing Stone Sunday 3.”
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.”
Colour Theory Mandala Finished.
I’ve finally finished the colour theory mandala I started a few weeks ago. I’ve only been working on it one afternoon a week but I’ve been totally absorbed in doing it, really getting into the zone. I constructed the design with a pair of compasses and a pencil – and someone reminding me of GCSEContinue reading “Colour Theory Mandala Finished.”
#StandingStoneSunday 2
Here’s one of my many sketches from my travels with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams about 6 years ago. We tracked many of the Neolithic and Bronze Age standing stones across South Wales as Dewi was researching for his new book. This was the very first of our outings and we visited twoContinue reading “#StandingStoneSunday 2”
#Caturday Archives
It’s Saturday / #Caturday so here’s another from my kitty archives. I went through a phase of doing digital drawings on my Samsung Galaxy 8 tablet a few years back and the cats were good subjects for the programme – a free app called Markers which is great for sketching. Here’s Little Ming, our fluffyContinue reading “#Caturday Archives”
Colour Mandala Step 5.
I did some more work on my colour theory mandala today, finishing all the segments, with a selection of brushes and palette knives. I’ve covered Primary, Secondary and Tertiary colours, Complementary colours, Tints and Shades and now I’ve started painting in little linear patterns with bronze paint and a very fine brush. I’m using DalerContinue reading “Colour Mandala Step 5.”
The Plebeian Printmakers Revisited…with video
About 5 years ago I got together with a group of other artist printmakers for an art in the street event called Troublemakers, in central Swansea. We went up and down the street inking up manhole and stopcock covers – street metal – and taking prints from them. You can see more in the videoContinue reading “The Plebeian Printmakers Revisited…with video”
#Caturday Archives
It’s Saturday / Caturday so here’s one from the archives, a pencil sketch of the late and very hairy tortoiseshell Ming The Merciless. Husb and I rescued her from a very neglectful home, she was nearly dead from an untreated lung infection, poor little floof. She was only a few months old at the timeContinue reading “#Caturday Archives”
Colour Theory Coasters
I’m using colour theory in different materials to make some teaching aids. As well as the painted mandala, I’ve been doing some examples on clay. The coasters on the top row show how colours change slightly on different coloured backgrounds and also the difference between glazed and unglazed. The ones on the bottom row showContinue reading “Colour Theory Coasters”
