Here’s another quick little scribble from last weekend’s gig with local band “Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious“. When I was little I remember my Nana played an accordion but after she died, back in the 1960s, I never saw one played again for many years, but recently I’ve seen a few coming back into play.

That Darn Guitar!
Husb and I went to a local pub a few days ago to see local band “Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious“. Great gig, thoroughly enjoyed. Of course, I had to have a scribble. I find it very hard to draw guitars, especially when they’re being played and I have to cope with movement and foreshortening. AhContinue reading “That Darn Guitar!”
Snazzy, Stylish and Steampunky.
I did some sketching at the Saint George in Swansea last Friday eve, where Husb and I had a fantastic time listening to local band “Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious“. Apart from being superb musicians, they are also very snazzy dressers, a little bit Steampunky with a lot of style. I wish I’d had my coloursContinue reading “Snazzy, Stylish and Steampunky.”
The Tea Chest Bassist.
Just back from the Saint George in Swansea, where Husb and I had a fantastic time listening to local band “Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious“. I’m tired now, so I’ll just post the bass player, he has a proper old-fashioned tea-chest bass. Fabulous.
Taking The Line Forward: 1
Here’s what I decided to do with my Birkrigg Common sketch that I posted yesterday (with the Hoad Lighthouse above Ulverston in the background). I did a few of these linear sketches on my recent holiday and I’m working into this one with some watercolour washes. I like blending watercolours directly onto the paper (Khadi). Plenty more toContinue reading “Taking The Line Forward: 1”
Starting With Line: 6
Decisions! Decisions! Here’s the other half of my Birkrigg Common sketch that I posted yesterday. This clearly shows the Hoad Lighthouse, that towers above Ulverston, whose name invokes a “wolf warrior”. I did a few of these linear sketches on my recent holiday and now I have to decide what to do with them. ContinueContinue reading “Starting With Line: 6”
Starting With Line: 5
It was a lovely warm and sunny day on Birkrigg Common in the Lake District earlier this month and I sat and I scribbled for a while. I used a Faber Castell Pitt pen into my Khadi Landscape sketchbook. On the upper right of the drawing is the Hoad Lighthouse, a famous landmark around theseContinue reading “Starting With Line: 5”
The Imaginary Landscape.
I taught a Community Arts class on Friday, at GS Artists, part of the 9to90 Creative Community programme. The topic was painting an imaginary landscape in acrylics, onto canvas board, in 2 hours. I referred to David Hockney’s landscapes for inspiration. The compositions he uses can be fairly simple, the colours intense, and the useContinue reading “The Imaginary Landscape.”
Starting With Line: 4
This is the “other” side of the drawing I posted yesterday, from my Landscape Khadi sketchbook. I like drawing right across the double page to get a panoramic view. I’ll be using watercolours on this – when I find the time! This is somewhere in the Lake District, up a mountain, I can’t be moreContinue reading “Starting With Line: 4”
Starting With Line: 3
Here’s another line drawing I did en plein air in the Lake District recently. Husb and I went up for a few days to see family and get out and do some walking and sketching. This is somewhere on the top of the Lake District, I’ve no idea where! Just liked the look of itContinue reading “Starting With Line: 3”
