Here’s one of the 30 minute poses from the life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop last night. It’s good to be back, even if the numbers are so restricted. I tried doing an online life drawing class once during lock down but I couldn’t get on with it at all. Our models are aContinue reading “Physicality And Personality”

Life Drawing Tonight
Just back from life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop, working with my home made walnut ink onto a heavyweight vintage paper. This is a quick pose, 10 minutes. And now I’m off to bed. Nos da, good night 😀
A Quick Head
I had 10 minutes or so to kill at last week’s life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop so I did a quickish sketch of the model’s head with conte crayons in black and sanguine. A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks I have some small screenprints for sale, inspired by my drawings ofContinue reading “A Quick Head”
A Seated Pose
And another life drawing from the Thursday evening group at Swansea Print Workshop, using my home-made walnut ink and black conte crayon onto vintage paper. It’s a 25 minute pose. I’m trying to push away from my normal detailed way of working so I’m using a big splooshy brush with the ink to free myselfContinue reading “A Seated Pose”
The 30 Minute Standing
Here’s a thirty minute pose from life drawing this week. I used my home made walnut ink and a black conte crayon onto some vintage paper (no watermark, no name) that I had been given. I started with a lighter wash and splooshed it on, letting it drip. The paper is very rough and IContinue reading “The 30 Minute Standing”
Two 5s And A 10 On A Cyanotype
Here are three sketches from the life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop this week, two 5 minute poses and one for 10 minutes. I have been working with this model for years, she’s a strong woman with great presence. I used conte crayons in white, black and sanguine onto an old cyanotype I recycledContinue reading “Two 5s And A 10 On A Cyanotype”
The Pensive Pose
Here’s the last of my recent life drawings, a longer, 50 minutes, seated pose. I worked mostly with my home made walnut husk ink with conte crayons at the end to firm up some of the lines and highlights. I really like our model’s pensive pose. A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks IContinue reading “The Pensive Pose”
Finished The Upside Down Boy
I’ve finished the little painting of my young relative who likes to hang upside down. It’s a great pose to paint and I did a lot of the process working from the source photos upside down too, as I find it easier to capture a likeness that way. Here are the steps along the way.Continue reading “Finished The Upside Down Boy”
Faking Kandinsky
This week’s fake with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook is one of Wassily Kandinsky’s views of Murnau, painted when he lived there in the early years of the twentieth century. I love it. I’ve used Liquitex Heavy Body acrylic paint onto a gesso-prepared stretched canvas. A Chance To Own One OfContinue reading “Faking Kandinsky”
30 Minutes With Walnut Ink
Here’s a 30 minute pose from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop earlier this week. I like the lying down poses, there’s often some challenging foreshortening, although not this evening. I managed to get the form down on the paper pretty quickly then I had time to just play with the ink – my homemadeContinue reading “30 Minutes With Walnut Ink”
