I’m travelling around South West Wales with archaeologist Dewi Bowen who is researching his new book on Neolithic / Bronze Age monuments and I’m drawing the stones as we travel across the – mostly – wild spaces of South Wales. But I’m a printmaker as well as a scribbler and I’m developing ideas for printsContinue reading “Proofing The Stones”

Out Of Practice
I’ve missed life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop for a couple of months now, because I’ve been going out and about on the trail of wild megaliths across South Wales on the same day as the drawing sessions. But for the next three weeks, I’ll be hunting the ancient stones on a different day soContinue reading “Out Of Practice”
A New Man
Here are some drawings from last week’s life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. This is a new model and I find it takes a while to get used to a new person to draw. I did four quick drawings to get used to the pose but it just didn’t click so I switched toContinue reading “A New Man”
The Glamour
Continuing with my series of drawings of Baby Boomers, my latest model is at the top end of the demographic and is now aged 70. I have known her for over 40 years and she is still probably the most glamorous woman I know, always beautifully dressed and groomed, the sort of person who makesContinue reading “The Glamour”
Life Drawing – Female Nude (parental guidance suggested)
I try to get along to life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop as often as I can, to get in the practice. It’s not always easy, it’s quite late in the evening and sometimes I’m so tired it’s hard to focus. This was one of those weeks. I did a couple of quick sketches toContinue reading “Life Drawing – Female Nude (parental guidance suggested)”
And It’s Goodbye From The SPace
Hurry and see this artspace before it disappears! Back in the middle of November, some members of Swansea Print Workshop got together to run a short-term popup gallery and artspace in Swansea’s run-down High Street, an area of social regeneration. We had a 12 week lease from Coastal Housing group and we painted and cleaned,Continue reading “And It’s Goodbye From The SPace”
Back At Me
Another Baby Boomer with wild curly hair this morning and also another artist who drew me right on back. I decide what drawing materials to use when I sit down to draw. Some people are suited to drawing pens (Faber Castell Pitt) and some to graphite (I use a variety in stick form). Graphite seemed bestContinue reading “Back At Me”
A Tight Fit (Male Nude- parental guidance suggested)
Went to life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop yesterday evening and sketched a male model who goes under the name of Ben D’Busse. I started with some very quick drawings and fell into the usual trap of not fitting the figure to the page. I nearly always run over the edges. Ben is aContinue reading “A Tight Fit (Male Nude- parental guidance suggested)”
Under Wraps
I’ve been involved in an artist collective, members of Swansea Print Workshop, at The SPace. We’ve had the place since mid-November and will be there for another three weeks. One of the best things about this has been the impetus for some of the artists to work together, to discuss and collaborate and we’re launchingContinue reading “Under Wraps”
Fleeting Moments
I’m on a roll with the Baby Boomer sketches. I’m trying to do as many as possible at The SPace before our lease runs out in mid-February. If there are any Baby Boomers in the Swansea area who fancy posing for a 30 minute sketch and being part of this project, please get in touch.Continue reading “Fleeting Moments”
