Practicing Legs: 1

Now this will be ongoing as I’m planning quite a lot of work around legs over the next few months. But the staring point with me is drawing, always drawing, so I’ll be practicing sketching legs and boots for a while. At this stage, I’m getting used to perspective and foreshortening and also the actualContinue reading “Practicing Legs: 1”

Sometimes You Gotta Play…

I carried on playing with the coloured papers from the other day, zooming in on sections and enlarging them to see what they looked like. I don’t know if it will lead to anything, but sometimes you’ve got to just chill out and play a bit in order to develop. I used Liquitex Heavy BodyContinue reading “Sometimes You Gotta Play…”

Back To Big Boots.

I’m going to be sketching lots of boots for a while, practicing different angles and styles of footwear, doing the groundwork for some future compositions.

Playing With Paint And Paper

I played around with some paint (Liquitex Heavy Body) and offcuts of paper (Bockingford 280gsm) and a palette knife, scraping the paint over the surface to make the most of the texture. I ripped the offcuts up and arranged them onto backing paper, to see what happened, then took photos of the compositions that IContinue reading “Playing With Paint And Paper”

Just look at these big bad boys! Boots are getting bigger and bigger at gigs, but the legs don’t seem to be growing to fit.

Back At The Bunkhouse: 3

A couple of backs at the Bunkhouse in this little scribble. Husb and I were there over the weekend, it’s a good venue. The man had HUGE trainers.

Back At The Bunkhouse: 2

I saw another back at the Bunkhouse and a side-view too, so I had to have a scribble. Husb and I were there on Saturday night, enjoying some funky vibes.

Back At The Bunkhouse:1

Husb and I went to a gig at The Bunkhouse on Saturday and I had to have a scribble. I saw this guy’s back and wanted to draw him from behind. So I did.

A Silver Anniversary

This year is the 25th anniversary of the opening of Swansea Print Workshop, where I spend many happy hours drawing and making prints, usually linocuts or woodcuts but also sometimes etchings and screenprints. It’s a great facility for artists across South Wales and it’s entirely run by the members who are the artists who useContinue reading “A Silver Anniversary”
