Celebrity Portrait In 2 Hours.
I taught an adult education class this afternoon with the 9-to-90 Creative Community at the excellent GS Artists on Swansea’s High Street. The theme was to paint a portrait of the Divine Diva, Dame Shirley Bassey. In TWO hours! A bit challenging 😀 But we did it. The results will be in the venue’s nextContinue reading “Celebrity Portrait In 2 Hours.”

Mari Lwyd: First Proofs With Chine Collé
I printed up a first proof from my latest Mari Lwyd lino block and then did a second proof with chine collé, using fine coloured tissue papers.

I wanted to check how my block was coming along so I put a piece of tracing paper over it and rubbedContinue reading “Seeing What’s Happening.”
Sketching The Mari.
I did a few scribbles of a Mari Lwyd to get some ideas for a new lino block. I’m running a series of sessions for the 9-to-90 Creative Community at GS Artists so I need a couple of references to work from, to demonstrate the technique. I generally start with a sketch, rather than aContinue reading “Sketching The Mari.”
It’s Mari Time!
It’s that time of year to start the annual Mari Lwyd lino cut, for my New Year greetings cards. I’m cutting two blocks this year, because I’m also running some lino-cutting sessions at the 9-to-90 Creative Community over the next few weeks, using the Mari Lwyd as our theme and I want to demonstrate theContinue reading “It’s Mari Time!”
