I started to paint a still life of plums from a food photo I took way back at the beginning of the Covid19 lockdown last Spring. I was cooking like a maniac and my creativity was channelled into photographing what I was doing. The photo is from a recipe called “Hot Buttered Plums” – hereContinue reading “Painting My Plums A Bit More”

Lush Colours
Here’s the life drawing from last week’s session – a one hour pose. It took me a while to get into it – it’s late and after a day’s work so I’m usually really tired by then. But sometimes the tiredness frees me up a bit. I love the lush colours of my Daler RowneyContinue reading “Lush Colours”
Got A Bit Of Culture
Husb and I got a bit of culture today. We booked a slot at the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery to see the new show, Terra Ferma by Carlos Bunga and to check in with the permanent collections, always something new to see there. I had a scribble through the door to the main gallery, withContinue reading “Got A Bit Of Culture”
I Was Ruthless
This was a 25 minute pose at last week’s life drawing session, but the first one I tried (below) just wasn’t grabbing me, so I started again. Sometimes when something isn’t working out, I keep at it and try and work it through, but this time, it really wasn’t getting anywhere. So I was ruthless.Continue reading “I Was Ruthless”
The Short Poses
We start our Thursday night life drawing classes with short poses to warm up. I enjoy these because they force you to concentrate on the essence of what’s there, rather than getting distracted by details. I used black and sanguine conte crayons onto some vintage paper, size A3, half the size of the pieces I’veContinue reading “The Short Poses”
Another Week, Another Life Drawing
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop, this is a 25 minute pose drawn with a sanguine conte crayon. Off to bed now …. A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks I have some small screenprints for sale, inspired by my drawings of the taxidermy collection at Swansea Museum. I have givenContinue reading “Another Week, Another Life Drawing”
Drawing On Rubbish
I tried something different for the final, one hour, pose at life drawing last week. I had these four pieces of paper that had been coated with yellow printing ink. I’d fished them out of a bin and they’d been knocking around for ages. So I loosely taped them to my drawing board and drewContinue reading “Drawing On Rubbish”
Painting My Plums
Back at the beginning of lockdown, about 16 months ago now, I lost all interest in doing art but got obsessively into cooking. I took photos of what I was doing as I went along and blogged them. Then I found Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook and got stuck into doingContinue reading “Painting My Plums”
A Day Trip
Husb and I had a day trip out today, we’ve had so few since Covid19 lockdown began in March 2020. We met up with some friends at Caldicot Castle, where there was plenty of space to keep distanced. It’s a gorgeous place and the lovely weather meant we could stay outside and soak up theContinue reading “A Day Trip”
Like Marmite ….
These reclining poses are like Marmite in our Thursday night life drawing sessions at Swansea Print Workshop. People love ’em or hate ’em. Personally I can’t get enough of ’em, I love the foreshortening, I’m a glutton for punishment. I used Daler Rowney artist’s soft pastels for this 30 minute drawing, onto a heavy vintageContinue reading “Like Marmite ….”
