Had a chance today to continue working on the colour theory mandala I’m constructing as a teaching aid. I’ve done Primary, Secondary and Tertiary colours, tints, tones and shades and today I completed the central section with two pairs of complementary colours, referencing Johannes Itten. I’m laying down the paint quite roughly at the momentContinue reading “The Colour Theory Mandala”

Pouring Down
Someone showed me how to do paint pours last week, using PVA glue, water and acrylic paints. She made it look very easy but I had a bit more difficulty moving the canvas around. We used up some old tubes of acrylic paint that had been hanging around since before Covid19 lockdown and that’s whyContinue reading “Pouring Down”
Wrestling Paper With A Wild Pony
They don’t know much about art, but they know what they like. My lunchbox! When I was drawing my way through South Wales with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams, we often had animals hanging out with us, Welsh ponies and sheep mainly, looking for a chance to raid our lunchboxes! Here’s a veryContinue reading “Wrestling Paper With A Wild Pony”
#Caturday Archives
It’s Saturday so it’s #Caturday on many social media platforms. I’ve got cat sketches going back years and years so I thought I’d dig them out and do a regular Saturday / Caturday archive. The scribbles above are of my friend’s late kitty, Scooter, and below is mine and Husb’s late legend Ming The Merciless.Continue reading “#Caturday Archives”
Sunning In The Park.
Husb and I went to Mumbles this evening, for the opening of a new exhibition at Tides Gallery. It was lovely, it spilt out into the Ponderosa Bar next door and Elwyn’s Bar just along the street. Then it spilt out across the road to the little park where Ian Thomas played an acoustic set.Continue reading “Sunning In The Park.”
More Mandala
Carried on today painting a mandala incorporating classic colour theory. I remember we had to study Johannes Itten’s colour theory book when I did an Art Foundation course way back when. Coincidentally, Itten was one of the founders of Art Foundation courses, when he was a lecturer at The Bauhaus. I’m developing this from aContinue reading “More Mandala”
Playing Around.
I take my art very seriously and I rarely relax and play around with it. I’m trying to be a bit freer, so this evening I had a play with a charcoal drawing I did way back in early lockdown – seems like so long ago now. I uploaded the drawing into Adobe Photoshop andContinue reading “Playing Around.”
Prepping And Perspiration!
Crikey! This heatwave is getting a bit much. It’s cooler in the house than outside so I’ve been a bit like a cave-dwelling troll today, avoiding the intense sunshine outside. Still sweated cobs though. I did a load of prep for screenprinting. I put some designs onto screens with Speedball drawing fluid and got themContinue reading “Prepping And Perspiration!”
#StandingStoneSunday 1.
There’s such a thing as Standing Stone Sunday over on Twitter so I’m posting a drawing and video from my travels with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams a few years back. We tracked many of the Neolithic and Bronze Age standing stones across South Wales as Dewi was researching for his new bookContinue reading “#StandingStoneSunday 1.”
Scribbling In A Heatwave.
Husb and I ventured out into the blistering heat later this afternoon, strolled into town and called into the cafe by the new park for a cool drink. There was a family playing ping pong so I had a quick scribble en plein air. Very quick, just enough to sketch out the basic components ofContinue reading “Scribbling In A Heatwave.”
