Canine Couture

I spent a lovely afternoon at Galerie Simpson, Swansea’s newest arthouse, helping with the new exhibition which opens tomorrow. And I spent a half hour drawing the delightful gallery puppies, Sonny and Betty, in their couture puppy jackets. The new show features original prints by contemporary artists including Gavin Turk, Jamie Reid and Gary HumeContinue reading “Canine Couture”

Northern Head

Here’s the other drawing I did at the life drawing group last night at Swansea Print Workshop. I spent about 35 minutes on this portrait using my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with the free Markers app. I like working with this model, she has a very distinctive face, reminds me of Northern Renaissance paintings.Continue reading “Northern Head”

This Evening’s Nude

Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop with a new nude study. I used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with the free Markers app. It’s late, I am off to bed. 😊

Renaissance Head

Here’s the digital drawing I did last night at Swansea Print Workshop. I enjoy drawing this model’s face very much, it has a Renaissance aspect to it. I used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with the free Markers app. I put a coloured ground on first, then sketched lightly in a fine pen toolContinue reading “Renaissance Head”

The Irrepressible Artist

Husb and I went to an artist talk put on by the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery this evening. It was an interview with the gallery’s artist-in-residence, Joan Jones. It was fascinating listening to the irrepressible Joan talk about other artists, writers and musicians that had been so inspiring and influential, including Gertrude Stein, the ManicContinue reading “The Irrepressible Artist”

The Hand

Here’s the drawing I did at life drawing group last night using my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with the free Markers app. The pose was a bit difficult because the model’s hand was so far in front and there was some extreme foreshortening.

Just Seconds

One of those days – loads of admin and computer and filing and then off to the opening of a friend’s exhibition so I only had SECONDS to do any drawing. But I set myself the task of drawing every day so draw I did. I was doing some voluntary work at Swansea Print WorkshopContinue reading “Just Seconds”

Maltese Cats Revisited

Revisiting My Sketchbook I’ve been looking through some of my old blog posts, there are over 3,000 of them, and it’s hard to remember all the artwork I’ve posted. Here’s one from just after Husb and I came back from a short holiday in Malta, a gorgeous place, full of cats. I put some watercolourContinue reading “Maltese Cats Revisited”

The Food Chain

Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop, working with one of my favourite models, an older woman covered in interesting tattoos based on the food chain.

New male nude

Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop where I did some experimenting with my new natural media, walnut sepia ink (I made this a few weeks ago) and Bideford Black, kindly sent to me by artists in North Devon. I was focussed on trying out these media to see what they canContinue reading “New male nude”
