Stacking

Spent a happy few hours at Swansea Print Workshop this evening, making another small monotype based on one of my pastel landscape drawings from the residency I did in Pakistan earlier this year. I did a series of 49 small drawings very quickly, so they are very impressionistic. This is based on one of theContinue reading “Stacking”

An Older Woman

Here’s another of the digital drawings I did during life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop a couple of evenings ago. I like working with this older woman model. Her face and body have lived life and are so very interesting to study. I prefer to work with older models and male models, to break awayContinue reading “An Older Woman”

Exciting Times

    Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop with a new digital life drawing done on my Samsung Galaxy with a free Markers app. This is one of our older models whose face and body are full of  character built up over a lifetime of experience.   It’s quite late and theContinue reading “Exciting Times”

Atmospheric Monotypes

I spent the evening at Swansea Print Workshop, doing some monotypes. This technique stacks three coloured plates on top of each other – in yellow, red and blue. You can read more about it on my technical web page here. The technique gives one full-colour piece and one ‘ghost’ monotype, taken from a second pressing.Continue reading “Atmospheric Monotypes”

Finger Drawing

This is the last of the digital drawings I did at this week’s life drawing session. I forgot to take the stylus that goes with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet so I had to draw with my finger. It’s the first time I’ve done this and I’m quite pleased with the results. It’s muchContinue reading “Finger Drawing”

Life Drawing And Northern Lights

Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. I did quite a few digital drawings on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the free Markers app. Here’s 2 of them. I’ll blog the others tomorrow. Husb and I are off out now in a minute. There’s been a massive solar flare over theContinue reading “Life Drawing And Northern Lights”

Red Hair

Here’s the second digital drawing I made at life drawing this week at Swansea Print Workshop. I started with a very dark ground and worked over it in white and greys with touches of red in the hair and blue on the tattoos. I drew with my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the freeContinue reading “Red Hair”

Head And Hair

Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. Here’s one of the digital sketches I did with a Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the free Markers app. I saved the drawing as I went along and put it into a slideshow gallery to show the development of the sketch. This model has aContinue reading “Head And Hair”

Another Day, Another Head

Here’s another digital sketch I did at life drawing this week at Swansea Print Workshop. I concentrated on drawing the head, measuring as best I could to get a reasonably accurate likeness. I used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with a free Markers app, working from a mid tone background with black and white.Continue reading “Another Day, Another Head”
