At the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery again on Friday, for a really good talk about the origins of the Welsh Red Dragon, by Professor Helen Fulton. Of course, I had a scribble. The talks are supported by The Friends of the Glynn Vivian and are free. The next one is on Saturday October 4th byContinue reading “Free Talks With The Friends.”

#Caturday Archives: 29
Here’s another digital drawing from October 2014, with our darling Little Ming, a tiny but feisty and fluffy Naughty Tortie. This drawing also features my outrageously coloured slippers, socks and dressing gown. I still have the dressing gown, it’s lasted well, just the ticket for wrapping up warm on cold, dark nights. I used aContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 29”
A Walk In The Woods
It’s been a gorgeous day, sunny and warm but not too warm, Autumnal. Husb and I hopped in the car around 4.30 and headed off out of the busy centre to Penllegare Woods, a truly magical place on the outskirts of the city. We spent an hour or so walking through the beautiful woodland, pastContinue reading “A Walk In The Woods”
Sketchbook Archives: 44
Some very quick sketches here, from June 2014. One of the good things of having little relatives is that they get very busy when you take them to the beach, a great chance to do some speed sketching.
Dark In The Park.
About an hour ago, twilight was coming on and Husb and I needed a bit of a walk. It’s a warm evening so we strolled to a nearby small park. More of a public gardens really, and I sat on a bench and had a quick scribble. The dark was coming down so I workedContinue reading “Dark In The Park.”
Big Words: In The Bookshop Café
I scribbled this in Waterstone’s café the other day. I liked the signage on the wall and the chap taking tea beneath it. I started to draw his companion, but they upped and left. How rude!
Continuous Line: In The Bookshop Café
Here’s another quick scribble from my visit to Waterstone’s café the other day. I like to use the continuous line method of sketching when there’s some depth to whatever’s in front of me. I find it’s the best technique to help draw perspective and proportion in a hurry.
Too Absorbed; In The Bookshop Café
Before Covid, remember that far back? It seems like ages to me. Anyway, before Covid I used to go regularly to the little café upstairs in Waterstones bookshop in Swansea. I’d have a little pot of tea and scribble for a while. I could look down into the street and get some great perspectives. TheContinue reading “Too Absorbed; In The Bookshop Café”
#Caturday Archives: 28
Back to October 2014 for this #Caturday Archive. I was still having fun with digital drawing, using a free Markers app on my Samsung Tablet Note 8. SpartaPuss the Naughty Tortie was about 5 years old here. She had her back to me but was interested in what I was doing, you can tell byContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 28”
Pencils First
After the mess I made of my last pair of legs (a drawing, not actually my gams), I sketched out the next pair in pencil, instead of going straight in with a ballpoint pen. I’ll sleep on it and when I’m happy with the pencilling, I’ll work it up in ink. These legs are partContinue reading “Pencils First”
