Another head of a performer from the Riverside Folk Club a couple of weeks ago. It’s an eclectic mix of music, folk and country, blues and bluegrass, the occasional small choir and even a bit of comedic verse. I drew this with a 2B graphite block into a Khadi sketchbook.

FINISHED!
Pulled a couple of long sessions down at Swansea Print Workshop yesterday and this evening to finish these two before the deadline tomorrow – linocut on the left and screenprint on the right. Was supposed to do them last week but had an accident and got concussion! Never mind, all done. Now I need aContinue reading “FINISHED!”
Checking ….
I’m cutting a lot of text, back to front, into traditional grey lino for my latest print. It’s not easy so I regularly use tracing paper to check that I’m doing it right. I put the tracing paper onto the area I want to check and rub it with a block of 2B Graphite soContinue reading “Checking ….”
The First Cuts.
I’ve started cutting into the lino block about the Miner’s Wives that I have been designing for what seems like ages! I really want to get this right, though. It contains a lot of text, which is really hard to cut, especially backwards. Here are the first cuts.

A Month Of Maris #15

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”
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.
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.
Two Techniques At 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. The duo on the left is done using the continuous line techniqueContinue reading “Two Techniques At The Folk Club.”
