Looking back at sketchbooks from February 2015 and I took a walk on the beach, visited a hospital and a couple of cafés, and hung out at an art gallery opening. I’ll be running a weekend linocut course based on Dewi Bowen and Olwyn Pritchard’s book, “Hunting The Wild Megalith” on February 28th and MarchContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 55”

#Caturday Archives: 39
Here’s a cat sketch from November 2015 of Sparta Puss looking very cross. Nothing new there. She still looks cross. I used a ballpoint pen into a lined notebook. I’ll be running a weekend linocut course based on Dewi Bowen and Olwyn Pritchard’s book, “Hunting The Wild Megalith” on February 28th and March 1st atContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 39”

Here’s another cat sketch from April 2015. It’s Sparta Puss, using a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen into a small A6 bound sketchbook, taking it across the two pages. It’s one of my favourite sketches of her, it’s lively and dynamic. I’ll be running a weekend course based on Dewi Bowen and Olwyn Pritchard’s book,Continue reading “#Caturday Archives: 38”

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here are some sketchbook scribbles from April 2015, when Sparta Puss was a sprightly 6 year-old.
Sketchbook Archives: 54
Going back to February 2015 for these people pictures, mostly drawn in my sketchbooks, although the bottom left is on a piece of vintage paper that I marbled before drawing with charcoal. The sketches on the top left were done in minutes, those at centre left, done in seconds – really speedy. I love lookingContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 54”
#Caturday
It’s #Caturday Saturday and here’s a new quick sketch of Sparta Puss, just a couple of minutes so no details of her lovely Tortoiseshell markings. I struggled with her tail, I kept checking but that’s the way it was positioned, looks weird to me on the drawing.
Scribbleheads
Chilling out the other evening, I started scribbling some little imaginary heads into my A6 Indigo-bound sketchbook. I rarely draw from my imagination, but it’s something I want to do more of as it stops me being too precious with what I draw.
Scribbling At Home
Just chilling out yesterday evening and I grabbed my little A6 Indigo-bound sketchbook and did some quick scribbling. Nice. Relaxing. Enjoyed. Sometimes art is very hard for me, most of the time in fact, but now and again it’s a gentle and quiet thing to do.
The Piano Players
Husb and I went to a neighbour’s party a couple of days into the New Year, it was lovely. There was lots of live music and our hostess played the piano with her granddaughter and provided song-sheets for guests to sing along. Great fun. Lots of traditional carols and some rousing classics sung with gustoContinue reading “The Piano Players”
The First Of The New Year
Husb and I popped along to a neighbour’s party a couple of days into the New Year and the Ffynone Mari Lwyd arrived! So I had to have a scribble, didn’t I? She’s a particularly mischievous Mari Lwyd.
