Two Legends In A Valley Village.

Husb and I went to a fantastic event in the Rhondda Valley village of Ynyshir this afternoon, organised by the wonderful Workers Gallery which is currently showing an exhibition of rarely seen work by the renowned photographer David Hurn. And today they organised a conversation and Q&A session between David and the renowned actor MichaelContinue reading “Two Legends In A Valley Village.”

A Blue Cast …

Here’s another little gel-plate experiment using a 10cm diameter round plate, with three primary colours – Process Yellow, Magenta and Cyan – with lots of Extender to make the colours translucent. It’s quite a random process and each one has turned out different. This has an overall Cyan cast but also the Magenta is quiteContinue reading “A Blue Cast …”

Hitting A Wall!

I’ve been working on and off with these 5 paintings for a few weeks and I’ve hit a brick wall with them! I deliberately set out to work from my imagination rather than from life, which is what I normally do. But I’m stuck – where to go with them now? Should I go representational?Continue reading “Hitting A Wall!”

Gigs And Scribbles: 5.

Here’s another small sketch from last week’s rock gig at Elysium in Swansea. I was listening to King Goon and scribbling as well, using a Faber Castell Pitt pen and Nitram charcoal. I spotted the hat and hood, great verticals and horizontals. It’s a very quick scribble, just getting down the essentials.

Gig And Scribbles: 4.

Another little sketch from the rock gig at Elysium in Swansea last Friday. I was listening to King Goon and scribbling as well, using a Faber Castell Pitt pen and Nitram charcoal. These sketches take one minute, two tops, sometimes just seconds. Speed sketching focuses you on the essentials of what’s before you, no time to be distractedContinue reading “Gig And Scribbles: 4.”

Gig And Scribbles: 3.

And another little scribble from last Friday’s gig at Elysium in Swansea. I was listening to King Goon and having a scribble at the same time, using a Faber Castell Pitt pen and Nitram charcoal. Although it’s been grey and rainy, it’s still very warm so lots of guys still in shorts, which I findContinue reading “Gig And Scribbles: 3.”

Gig And Scribbles: 2

Another quick scribble of audience members at the recent gig at Elysium. It’s a cracking venue, loads of different music genres, plus poetry, comedy, life drawing, crafts, creative writing, a Welsh Learners’ cafe and art group, and, of course, the exhibitions over three galleries. Something for everyone.

Inspired By …. Ysbrydoli Gan …

I spend a couple of happy hours at Elysium in Swansea today, in an art class for Welsh learners. I speak and read Welsh a bit (yn tipyn bach) but struggle to go beyond conversational Welsh and into specialist topics. This session today looked at one of the current exhibitions, by Arwel Micah, very atmosphericContinue reading “Inspired By …. Ysbrydoli Gan …”

Gig And Scribbles: 1

Husb and I popped into Elysium this evening for a cheeky slim-line tonic, and watched a rock band, King Goon. Of course, I had to have a scribble!
