A New Home ….

Here are eleven of my sketchbooks going back almost two decades and tomorrow they’re going to a new home ……. I’ll tell you where when I’ve delivered them 😀

A Quickie At The Pub Quiz.

A quick scribble at the pub quiz the other evening, with a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen into my little leather-bound sketchbook.

Yesterday I made a couple of sheets of little circular designs, 24 in all, trying out some ideas for some Adult Education sessions I’ll be running soon. Today I chose 10 of them to make up into badges and mount onto a small canvas that I painted black. I’ve had the badge machine for aContinue reading

Playing Small

I’ve been playing with small designs today, random images onto 45mm circles using brush and ink, graphite sticks, Sharpie pens and coloured pencils. It’s for an adult education project I’m working on ….. there’s more to come.

More Porto Pavement People.

Some more of the very quick sketches I did last week on holiday. I like to stand on the pavement and speedily scribble people walking along, most people move quite fast.

In a few weeks some of my many sketchbooks will be going to a new home in a permanent public collection. But I can’t tell you where just yet. I’m teasing you 🙂

Playing With New Toy.

My new toy came through the post today, a box of Caran d’Ache Neo-Pastel colours. For a long time now I’ve been following the blog of USA based artist Aletha Kuschan and I’ve been so impressed by her work, particularly her lovely vibrant pastel drawings. She kindly told me what she used for them. SoContinue reading “Playing With New Toy.”

Done At Last.

I’ve finished my painting of two siblings on the beach at night watching the bioluminescence. It’s been a long haul. I don’t often work from photographs and I don’t find it easy, I prefer to work from life, but this was a good exercise. I did a lot of the painting upside down – theContinue reading “Done At Last.”

Tiniest Tweaks….

I’ve almost finished this painting of two siblings on Swansea Beach in the dark last summer. We went to see the bioluminescence in the bay and sat around a driftwood fire for a while, watching the stars. It was lovely. I took some photos and the painting is from one of those – many ofContinue reading “Tiniest Tweaks….”
