I love adult education. So much fun. I was working with a small group this afternoon in a community garden. I demonstrated the effects you can get with some pieces of plants, acrylic paint and Gelli-Plates. By doing a demo, I get to play with the materials too. Lovely Jubbly.

A Pakistan Journey In Print:1
Way back in 2007 I was lucky to travel to Pakistan for a two-week visit with friends from Wales, Denmark and Pakistan. It was a fantastic journey, the country is so geographically and culturally varied, the people kind and friendly. I sketched as I normally do and when I came back to Wales I workedContinue reading “A Pakistan Journey In Print:1”

Here’s a selection of sketches I first posted in March 2012, although they weren’t all drawn then. I began blogging in July 2011 to post my sketchbook drawings, so I was picking out examples going back years. These are drawings en plein air. I seemed to do a lot more back then. I think IContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 7”
A Day Out In Mid Wales…
Husb and I went for a drive over the weekend and wound up in the little village of Llanddewi Brefi and then onto the small town of Tregaron. We stopped for a soft drink in a local pub and I drew this fantastic inglenook fireplace. The drawing of Husb is awful, he’s much better looking,Continue reading “A Day Out In Mid Wales…”

I first posted these back in February 2012, although they weren’t all drawn then. I began blogging in July 2011 to post my sketchbook drawings, so I was picking out examples from sketchbooks going back years. Looks like I was going through a bit of a ‘still life’ phase.

Back to January 2012, when I posted these to my blog. They weren’t all drawn then though. I started the blog in July 2011 to post my sketchbook drawings so I was choosing from several years worth of scribbles when I first began blogging.
Scribbling At The Steel Works…
Husb and I went to the demonstration to support industrial action at the TATA steelworks in Port Talbot, organised by the trade union, Unite. I sat down in the sunshine and had a scribble. There was a lot of red against the dark looming steelworks in the background.
A Short Film Of My Sketchbooks…
Husb made a short film of a lot of my sketchbook drawings. Many artists draw in sketchbooks but they’re rarely made public. So please have a look 😀

Looking back through my old blog posts month by month, I’ve reached December 2011, about 6 months after I began this blog. Older relatives were increasingly in hospital, I spent a lot of time there, visiting, a good place for sketching, quiet and peaceful.
Sketchbook Archives: 3 (NYC)
I started this blog back in 2011 and I was delighted when, by the end of the first week, my statistics showed that 12 people – TWELVE – had read it. I was so excited. I’m still excited by it 13 years and around 4,300 posts later. And thrilled by the many people who nowContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 3 (NYC)”
