Back To Big Boots.

I’m going to be sketching lots of boots for a while, practicing different angles and styles of footwear, doing the groundwork for some future compositions.

I played around with some paint (Liquitex Heavy Body) and offcuts of paper (Bockingford 280gsm) and a palette knife, scraping the paint over the surface to make the most of the texture. I ripped the offcuts up and arranged them onto backing paper, to see what happened, then took photos of the compositions that IContinue reading “Playing With Paint And Paper”

Y Delynor: The Harpist

Husb and I normally go to metal and rock gigs, but for a change we went along to Mission Gallery in Swansea yesterday to listen to a performance of the Welsh Triple Harp by the harpist (y delynor) Robin Huw Bowen. It was enchanting. I’ve never heard anything like it. Husb and I loved it.Continue reading “Y Delynor: The Harpist”

Just look at these big bad boys! Boots are getting bigger and bigger at gigs, but the legs don’t seem to be growing to fit.

Sketchbook Archives: 41

It’s archive time again, from March 2014. Here are 4 sketchbook scribbles and a sketch on newspaper that I did at a “live” drawing session.

A couple of backs at the Bunkhouse in this little scribble. Husb and I were there over the weekend, it’s a good venue. The man had HUGE trainers.

Back At The Bunkhouse: 2

I saw another back at the Bunkhouse and a side-view too, so I had to have a scribble. Husb and I were there on Saturday night, enjoying some funky vibes.

Back At The Bunkhouse:1

Husb and I went to a gig at The Bunkhouse on Saturday and I had to have a scribble. I saw this guy’s back and wanted to draw him from behind. So I did.

A Silver Anniversary

This year is the 25th anniversary of the opening of Swansea Print Workshop, where I spend many happy hours drawing and making prints, usually linocuts or woodcuts but also sometimes etchings and screenprints. It’s a great facility for artists across South Wales and it’s entirely run by the members who are the artists who useContinue reading “A Silver Anniversary”

Some Historic Masking…

This is from my archives, March 2014 and Husb and I were invited to a party where people were asked to wear masks representing an artist or art work. I bought some cheap masks from the kids’ section in a supermarket and got to work with some acrylic paints. Husb did his with felt-tip pens.Continue reading “Some Historic Masking…”
