And another hastily scribbled head of an elderly woman. She looks like she has had the cares of the world on her for many years. Graphite into a Khadi hand-made paper sketchbook.

Elder Heads: 2
Another scribble of an older person, as we get older we often look more like the opposite sex and it can be hard to tell elder men and women apart without cues like clothing, jewellery, make-up. I’ve used a graphite block into a Khadi handmade paper sketchbook.
Elder Heads: 1
I guess it’s my age, I get to go places where there are lots of elders these days. I used to go places where there were lots of younger people. When I was younger LOL 😀
Price Of Change.
Husb and I went to the theatre the other week – ooh there’s posh isn’t it?! We saw a new play by Contemporancient Theatre, Price Of Change. It’s about the 18th Century Welsh philosopher and mathematician, Dr. Richard Price of Llangeinor in the Garw Valley. He is hardly known here in his own country, weContinue reading “Price Of Change.”
Getting Messy …..
I did some teaching at GS Artists in Swansea today, as part of the 9-to-90 Creative Community programme, looking at charcoal and landscape. I used images by three different landscape artists, in black and white, Glenys Cour, David Hockney and Kyffin Williams, to examine the difference in styles. I did this demonstration drawing inspired byContinue reading “Getting Messy …..”
A View Of Kilvey / Cilfai.

In my lifetime it has been reclaimed by nature, with help from Swansea University and thousands of local adultsContinue reading “A View Of Kilvey / Cilfai.”
More Little Quick Ones ….
Here are a few more speedy scribbles I did at the rugby match on Saturday. It was nice there, I was invited to share a box, which was warm and dry so I could sketch in comfort. That’s the way to do it.
Lots Of Little Quick Ones …
Yesterday I went to the Rugby, at the Swansea.Com Stadium to watch The Ospreys play the Emirates Lions from South Africa. Of course I had to have a scribble! There were a lot of people hanging out on the touchline watching the match, so I sketched them quickly. Good drawing practice. Ospreys won 36 vContinue reading “Lots Of Little Quick Ones …”
One From The Archives: Beautiful Head.
I’ve been thumbing through my portfolios again (there are stacks of them!) and came across this portrait sketch from 2016, I remember really enjoying drawing this model.
A Blast From The Past …
For many years, life drawing has underpinned my drawing practice. When I was in Swansea Art College, I was lucky enough to have been taught by the wonderful artist Glenys Cour. She imparted a love of life drawing that has lasted many decades. I’ve also been lucky enough to have worked with many wonderful models.Continue reading “A Blast From The Past …”
