Another little sketch from the rock gig at Elysium in Swansea last Friday. I was listening to King Goon and scribbling as well, using a Faber Castell Pitt pen and Nitram charcoal. These sketches take one minute, two tops, sometimes just seconds. Speed sketching focuses you on the essentials of what’s before you, no time to be distractedContinue reading “Gig And Scribbles: 4.”

Gig And Scribbles: 3.
And another little scribble from last Friday’s gig at Elysium in Swansea. I was listening to King Goon and having a scribble at the same time, using a Faber Castell Pitt pen and Nitram charcoal. Although it’s been grey and rainy, it’s still very warm so lots of guys still in shorts, which I findContinue reading “Gig And Scribbles: 3.”
Gig And Scribbles: 2
Another quick scribble of audience members at the recent gig at Elysium. It’s a cracking venue, loads of different music genres, plus poetry, comedy, life drawing, crafts, creative writing, a Welsh Learners’ cafe and art group, and, of course, the exhibitions over three galleries. Something for everyone.
Gig And Scribbles: 1
Husb and I popped into Elysium this evening for a cheeky slim-line tonic, and watched a rock band, King Goon. Of course, I had to have a scribble!
Scribbled On Film …
Here is a short film Husb has made of scribbles from one of my sketchbooks, out and about catching everyday life. The soundtrack is fab 😀
National Gallery On My Telly: 3.
Another drawing from Tuesday’s televised life drawing session from the National Gallery in London, drawn from my settee. These two models held a 20 minute pose which wasn’t long enough for me to get the basics of both of them. The lower one is lying in an awkward position on the lap and it was really difficultContinue reading “National Gallery On My Telly: 3.”
Quick And Little.
Here’s another little sketch from the recent heavy metal gig I went to. These scribbles are small and very quick but they’re important, they train your eye and your hand to work together, and to focus on the essentials before you. Artist’s sketchbooks are a record of our practice, because art is something that hasContinue reading “Quick And Little.”
Hairy Man.
I saw him at the Mondo Generator gig the other night. I was drawing legs, as I’ve been doing lately at metal gigs, but I thought his hair and beard were interesting enough to look up.
More Metal Legs.
Husb and I went to a heavy metal gig on Tuesday – yes it was a school night but it finished at 11pm so not too late. Mondo Generator played at The Bunkhouse, a tiny rock venue in Swansea. I couldn’t pass up the chance to see and hear the legendary Nick Oliveri play andContinue reading “More Metal Legs.”
Just A Quickie …..
Just a quick little scribble in a cafe, took about a minute with a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen into my tiny leather-bound sketchbook.
