Looking back at sketchbooks from February 2015 and I took a walk on the beach, visited a hospital and a couple of cafés, and hung out at an art gallery opening. I’ll be running a weekend linocut course based on Dewi Bowen and Olwyn Pritchard’s book, “Hunting The Wild Megalith” on February 28th and MarchContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 55”

Fun With Mark Making
This is a 15 minute pose from life drawing a few weeks ago. The young male model has fantastic hair so after I captured his likeness (much easier with profile I find) I had a play with his hair, getting into some mark making with my graphite. I’ll be running a weekend linocut course basedContinue reading “Fun With Mark Making”
Grappling With A Beard
Here’s a 15-minute pose from a recent life drawing session. It’s long enough to get stuck into some analytical drawing. I find it a bit harder to draw a face with something on it, like glasses or a beard. These things make measuring even more difficult than it is. But it’s good practice. The likenessContinue reading “Grappling With A Beard”
The Short But Not Too Short Pose
After a couple of short poses at last night’s life drawing group at Swansea Print Workshop, we had this 10 minute pose. I’ve only worked with this model once before and I’m still getting used to her proportions. I’ll be running a weekend linocut course based on Dewi Bowen and Olwyn Pritchard’s book, “Hunting TheContinue reading “The Short But Not Too Short Pose”
Portrait Drawing: Week 13
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop and it’s late, so I’ll just post the first sketches I did, a 1-minute and a 5-minute pose in graphite. And now to bed with a cup of tea and a couple of cats. See you tomorrow. Nos da. I’ll be running a weekend linocut courseContinue reading “Portrait Drawing: Week 13”
Another Drawing To Lino Print
This is the fourth portrait drawing I’ve turned into a linocut print since since I started back at Swansea Print Workshop after a long break (see here). Below is the original sketch with the different stages of the process – carving the block and then inking up with Cranfield SafeWash Relief ink. This model has a veryContinue reading “Another Drawing To Lino Print”
From Drawing To Lino Print
This is the third portrait drawing I’ve turned into a linocut print since since I started back at Swansea Print Workshop after a long break (see here). Below is the original sketch with the different stages of the process – carving the block and then inking up with Cranfield SafeWash Relief ink. COME AND LEARN HOW TOContinue reading “From Drawing To Lino Print”
The Portrait In Profile
I really like this profile sketch I did at last week’s life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. I think I’ll develop this into a linocut, I could have an interesting time carving the hair and beard. Maybe I’ll use a bigger piece of lino than I have for my previous ones, to cut moreContinue reading “The Portrait In Profile”
Sketching From Below
This was an interesting 20-minute pose at last week’s life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. Our model stood on a table and he’s very tall anyway, so I was looking up at him. I’m a little dwt and I was sitting down so I had a good view up his nostrils and his beardContinue reading “Sketching From Below”
#Caturday Archives: 39
Here’s a cat sketch from November 2015 of Sparta Puss looking very cross. Nothing new there. She still looks cross. I used a ballpoint pen into a lined notebook. I’ll be running a weekend linocut course based on Dewi Bowen and Olwyn Pritchard’s book, “Hunting The Wild Megalith” on February 28th and March 1st atContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 39”
