Three Places At Once!

I’m really chuffed that I currently have screenprints in three group exhibitions across South Wales, in Aberdare, Neath and Swansea. “Women & The Valleys” in the Cynon Valley Museum and Gallery runs until March 30th – Aberdare is a great town for a day out. “Miners Imprint” at Queen Street Gallery is open until MarchContinue reading “Three Places At Once!”

#Caturday Archives: 19

Here’s a little scribble of Sparta Puss from my sketchbook archives way back in April 2013, when she was just 3 years old. She was still naughty though! She’s sitting on top of our gas boiler looking out of the kitchen window at the amelanchier tree which is just starting to bud. On the leftContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 19”

#Caturday Silhouette 16: More Stripey.

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a positive silhouette of Bill aka William ChatNoir, our sweet little black rescue cat. She’s on the same background as last #Caturday. It’s Fabriano drawing paper I prepared with a couple of coats of gesso and then dribbled my home made walnut husk ink onto it. When it wasContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette 16: More Stripey.”

#Caturday (Plus 1) Silhouette 14: Size Matters!

My laptop finally gave up the ghost a couple of days ago, I’d had it about 10 years and it was geriatric. And now it’s properly dead. So I missed blogging for a couple of days but I now have a new laptop and here’s this week’s #Caturday, a day late but better late thanContinue reading “#Caturday (Plus 1) Silhouette 14: Size Matters!”

A Crisp Cold Day.

I’ve posted a couple of old sketchbook drawings recently, of drawings I did on cold, dark evenings but here’s one from my Khadi sketchbook that I did in the daytime, It was still crisp and cold though!

Live At The Boxing Club: 6

The last of my scribbles from the Gwent Boxing Club in Townhill in Swansea. The lads are really, really fast so there was no time to do any detailed drawing, I could only do speed sketching. It was good practice to capture movement as quickly as I could. It was very intense, lots of concentration, but worth it becauseContinue reading “Live At The Boxing Club: 6”

Live At The Boxing Club: 5

Speed sketching gives variable results, sometimes catching fleeting moments quite accurately, sometimes the scribbles look like…well…scribbles. Sketches from my recent visit to the boxing club, these guys are so fast.

Live At The Boxing Club: 4

Scribbling away at the boxing club the other week, I was sketching movements and positions I hadn’t seen before, but these guys are so fast, I struggled to get anything resembling a human down on the page. But it’s really good practice, each tiny figure adds to my knowledge of how humans move, how we’reContinue reading “Live At The Boxing Club: 4”

Live At The Boxing Club: 3

The other week, I went and had a scribble at the Gwent Boxing Club in Townhill in Swansea. The lads are really, really fast so there was no time to do any detailed drawing, I could only do speed sketching. It was good practice to capture movement as quickly as I could. I could see movements and body shapesContinue reading “Live At The Boxing Club: 3”
