The Finished Piece
It’s been a couple of weekends since I did the screenprint book course at Swansea Print Workshop with Kelly Stewart and I just realised that I didn’t blog about the finished piece. Well, here it is: the front above…… ….. and the back below, showing the covers ….. And here’s everyone’s …..
The Book Covers
Last weekend I did a short course in making a screenprinted book and part of the process was the covers. I did the designs with black acrylic paint brushed onto acetate and then scratched into the surface with a nail when it was dry. The hand lettering was done with a Faber Castell Pitt drawingContinue reading “The Book Covers”

I started with a group of mixed media drawings of Neolithic Standing Stones IContinue reading “Out Of My Comfort Zone!”
Talk Turned Geeky
Husb and I had a teatime visit from friends today and, as one of them is a fellow printmaker, the talk turned geeky. She noticed a number of my blockprinted portrait heads on the wall and we chatted about materials and techniques. Instead of the traditional lino or wood, or even modern vinyl, I usedContinue reading “Talk Turned Geeky”
Many Layers Of Scribbles
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop, where I worked with a long-standing model, an older man who’s been modelling for us for many years. He’s a great model, so still and comfortable in his poses. I drew onto my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet with a free Markers app. I laidContinue reading “Many Layers Of Scribbles”
Cake And Life Drawing
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. I haven’t been for a while as life has been getting in the way so I made a pineapple upside down cake for our tea break. I drew with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet with a free Markers app, working with white pens overContinue reading “Cake And Life Drawing”
Strong Face, Big Character
I sometimes do some portrait practice at life drawing sessions and I had a go at Swansea Print Workshop last night. Our model, an older woman, has such a strong face and a big character which shows through in her expressions. I drew onto my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet with a free MarkersContinue reading “Strong Face, Big Character”
