Another dive into my archives of scribbles and these were done at a public arts event in May 2015, the Fringe Arts Bath. A group of like-minded scribblers from the Swansea area descended on the Bath city centre and did some timed live sketching. It was really exhausting; the weather was very hot and weContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 59”

People, pigs and a chicken, some more from my sketchbook archives in April 2015.

Here are some old sketchbook scribbles, from April 2015. It must have been good weather because I’m out and about a lot.
Heads And Faces
Husb and I went to a gig at the Arena in Swansea a few nights ago, I scribbled some random faces and heads in the interval. It’s good practice.

Here are some old sketchbook scribbles, from March 2015 and it seems that I was out on the beach a lot, again. It must have been quite dry. I don’t mind going out and drawing when it’s cold, but I don’t want to be soaked.

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”
Inspired By Suzanne
There are a lot of artists I really love, and two of those I love most are Suzanne Valadon and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. I saw a painting called “The Hangover” recently for the first time and it’s a portrait of Suzanne by Henri. Wonderful. Two of my favourite artists in one artwork! Here’s a linkContinue reading “Inspired By Suzanne”

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”
Portrait Drawing: Week 8
It’s 8 weeks since I started back at life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop after a long break (see here) and here are the warm-up sketches. I’m aiming to improve my portrait drawing over the next year. These are 5 minute sketches, using a graphite block onto a good quality but cheap cartridge paper. Sometimes I makeContinue reading “Portrait Drawing: Week 8”
The Scribbly Lines
The last sketch that I posted of this model was drawn in a very stark way, but this pose inspired me to go a bit scribbly. It took 45 minutes and I used graphite onto a heavy vintage paper (make unknown). I spent a lot of time analysing the hand. I’m out of practice, IContinue reading “The Scribbly Lines”
