Archive: Stuffed Birds at the Museum.

Here’s another one from the archives, a sketch in my homemade walnut ink. I was at Swansea Museum, studying from the permanent collection with other members of Swansea Print Workshop and these two stuffed bitterns captured my attention.

Archive: Trees In Early Spring

I’ve been rummaging through my digital folders and looking at old sketches. Here’s one from 2018, a sharp early Spring day in Dynefor Park near Llandeilo. A group of artists had travelled from the city to work in the arboretum there. I saw this lovely tree that had fallen over, but carried on growing, reachingContinue reading “Archive: Trees In Early Spring”

A Month Of Maris #15

Here’s an unusual view of a Mari Monotype, it’s all set up before I took the print. I inked an acrylic sheet, did the drawing of the Mari Lwyd onto it with cotton buds and brushes, and then laid some pieces of mulberry paper onto the surface to act as chine collé. This is theContinue reading “A Month Of Maris #15”

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda

A Happy New Year to you. Blwyddyn Newydd Dda i chi. Here’s my latest Mari Lwyd, a linocut with chine collé using the foil wrapping of the very popular (in the UK) Tunnock’s Tea Cakes. I like the way the stripes of the foil interact with the stripeyness of Mari’s ribbons. She’s a little early,Continue reading “Blwyddyn Newydd Dda”

A Month Of Maris #10

Playing with The Mari #1.

I’ve been playing with my latest Mari Lwyd drawing in Adobe Photoshop, using the Gradient Map function. It’s fun and chilled, there’s no pressure.

And The Mari Came Too.

There were lots of performers at the Riverside Folk Club last week, mostly human. But suddenly The Mari Lwyd arrived, wreaking havoc and mischief across the room. Of course, I had to scribble her.

Another Quickie From The Folk Club.

Another little sketch from the Riverside Folk Club last week. I used ink drawing pens and I made a mistake drawing his hand so I filled in his jumper with Nitram charcoal to cover it up. Cheating or creative license? 😀

More From The Folk Club.

Husb sings in a local community choir, Aderyn Du Brynmill Blackbirds, and they gave a short performance of Medieval Christmas Carols at the Riverside Folk Club in Loughor earlier this week. I tagged along and of course, I had to have a scribble. Here are two of the performers that I caught with my drawing pens.
