Goodbye Bouldering Wall …

Here are a couple of post-bouldering sketches I did, still at The Wall in Ulverston, but at the end of the session when people were having a rest. This climber was nice and still as he had a sit-down after a strenuous climb. And this one took a breather standing up, but quite still, so easier toContinue reading “Goodbye Bouldering Wall …”

Scribbling Bouldering 6.

Here are the last few drawings from my visit to Ulverston’s “The Wall” with my young relatives. While they and Husb bouldered, I sat and sketched. These few below are the first ones I did, extra speedy to warm up.

Scribbling Bouldering 5.

Here’s another couple of scribbles from The Wall in Ulverston, where Husb and I visited last week. He bouldered with some of our younger relatives while I scribbled. Here are some very quick sketches of two of the littler ones.

Scribbling Bouldering 4.

Husb and I spent a few days in The Lake District last week, in the lovely little town of Ulverston. Husb and our younger relatives went on the climbing wall, doing bouldering. Of course, I had to have a scribble. It’s great to draw people in strange poses that I normally wouldn’t see. I had to be quick too,Continue reading “Scribbling Bouldering 4.”

Scribbling Bouldering 3.

Here’s another scribble from The Wall in Ulverston, where Husb and I visited last week. He bouldered, I scribbled. Here he is with some snazzy handholds and footholds, which look a bit like pebbles and gems strewn across a beach after I’ve tweaked them in Adobe Photoshop . Sensibly, there were some very deep fallContinue reading “Scribbling Bouldering 3.”

Scribbling Bouldering 2.

I went to The Wall in Ulverston when I was there last week, not to climb, but to sketch. Climbers twisted themselves into some great shapes, but I had to draw quickly. The bouldering wall is covered in odd, bright shapes, handholds and footholds. I put photos of them through Adobe Photoshop to go withContinue reading “Scribbling Bouldering 2.”

Scribbling Bouldering 1.

Husb and I spent a few days in The Lake District last week, in the lovely little town of Ulverston. Husb joined some of our young relatives on the climbing wall. The technique is called bouldering and I’d never heard of it before. Of course, I had to have a scribble. It was a greatContinue reading “Scribbling Bouldering 1.”

Digital Tryout.

Husb has been searching around for a free digital drawing programme for me, to replace the “Markers” I used on my old Samsung Galaxy 8 tablet. He found “Concepts” so I’m giving it a tryout. I did this very quick scribble in a darkened room while Husb watched the TV. It’s got potential, not badContinue reading “Digital Tryout.”

Scribbling In The Elysium Gallery Bar.

Here’s the last of the sketches I did in Elysium Bar the other evening. Gigs are good for scribbling because people are generally focused on the performers and keep reasonably still. Tom Emlyn and Sarah Passmore were playing – check them out, they’re fab. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a youngerContinue reading “Scribbling In The Elysium Gallery Bar.”

Talking Heads

Here’s another of my sketchbook drawings from the Elysium Bar the other evening, two friends engrossed in talking. Lovely. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a younger relative of mine, to have life-changing surgery in Spain. Phil is disabled by Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and the operation he needs isn’t currently available in the UK.Continue reading “Talking Heads”
