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!
Street Metal: Playing Around.
I work part-time for a national charity as an art tutor with adult learners and yesterday I took a small group out and about to make graphite rubbings of “street metal” – manholes and stop cock covers. We used Koh-I-Noor graphite blocks (6B) onto Japanese HoSho paper. When I got back, I photocopied some ofContinue reading “Street Metal: Playing Around.”
Scribbled On Film …
Here is a short film Husb has made of scribbles from one of my sketchbooks, out and about catching everyday life. The soundtrack is fab 😀
National Gallery On My Telly: 3.
Another drawing from Tuesday’s televised life drawing session from the National Gallery in London, drawn from my settee. These two models held a 20 minute pose which wasn’t long enough for me to get the basics of both of them. The lower one is lying in an awkward position on the lap and it was really difficultContinue reading “National Gallery On My Telly: 3.”
