I carried on cutting my latest lino block today. Nothing staggeringly interesting, just keeping on keeping on, which is how most artwork is made. Meanwhile, Husb bottled the elderflower cordial he made with the flowers we foraged (responsibly) on Sunday. There’s plenty there for family too. I like to drizzle it over home-made sponge cakeContinue reading “Making Art And Cordial”

Making Art: The Reality
The reality of making art is…you have to make it. Takes ages. I’m carving a new lino block. I’ll be carving it for quite some time.
Scribbleheads…
I keep meaning to do more random sketches from imagination, just letting my bit of graphite scribble away to see what happens, but I find it so hard to let go and not work from life. I MUST TRY HARDER!!! 😀

Sketchbook Archives: 63
Looking through my sketchbooks from June 2015, I was going through a phase of pasting brown wrapping paper into my sketchbooks to give a bit more variety to my drawings. Here are some I did of musicians at one of the local folk clubs.
Life Drawing: No MoJo
My mojo just wasn’t with me last night at life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. We had a great model that I’ve drawn before and I had lovely paper and graphite, but I just couldn’t get into it. The drawing isn’t too bad, but the likeness isn’t quite there. Sometimes that’s just the way itContinue reading “Life Drawing: No MoJo”

Channelling Ravilious.
I stayed in East Sussex last week, with some very dear old friends. We went to Towner Eastbourne and saw the permanent collection of work by the early 20th century artist Eric Ravilious. I’d always found his landscape paintings a little bit insipid, if I’m honest, but we went walking along the South Downs afterContinue reading “Channelling Ravilious.”
