I’ve been having some fun playing around with my little single figures, drawn in ink on my recent residency in Germany. I’ve been pushing them through Adobe Photoshop and experimenting with some very vibrant colour combinations. But this one here seemed to suit a muted effect. I put it into the “Torn Paper” filter andContinue reading “Muted.”

Feeling The Heat.
Another of my “Singleton” drawings, pushed through Adobe Photoshop gradient map. I like the heat of this colour combination, it makes the figure so different from the black and white original. I went to the artist residency with four other Welsh women artists, Chris Bird-Jones, Sarah Hopkins , Rhiannon Rees and Rhian Haf. We have been supported by Wales Arts International. WeContinue reading “Feeling The Heat.”
This is one of the simplest of the twig’n’ink sketches I did in Germany recently and I had to try it out in many Photoshop filters before I was happy with it. I went to the artist residency with four other Welsh women artists, Chris Bird-Jones, Sarah Hopkins , Rhiannon Rees and Rhian Haf. We have been supported by Wales Arts International.Continue reading
Spots Before My Eyes!
Still loving putting my “singleton” figures through Adobe Photoshop. I drew the original with a twig and some ink onto Khadi paper and put it into a Stamp filter, a Spot Half-Tone filter, and then through a Gradient Map. You can see my original here. I went to the artist residency with four other Welsh women artists, ChrisContinue reading “Spots Before My Eyes!”
Sponging…
I did another Adobe Photoshop transformation of one of my little drawings from my recent residency. My original was first put into “Sponge Painting” in the Filter Gallery, then pushed through “Gradient Map”. I went to the artist residency with four other Welsh women artists, Chris Bird-Jones, Sarah Hopkins , Rhiannon Rees and Rhian Haf. We have been supported by Wales ArtsContinue reading “Sponging…”
Like the 1960s.
I guess a lot of people use Adobe Photoshop and are used to it, but I don’t get much chance to play with it and I’m having a great time pushing these little figures through different functions. This is one of the single figures I drew with a twig and some ink onto Khadi paper.Continue reading “Like the 1960s.”
Breaking Textures.
I’m still pushing my small twig and ink figures through Adobe Photoshop to see what happens. I’m mainly using Gradient Map. I like the way it enhances the breaking textures on the figures, which are hard to see on the black ink originals. I went to the artist residency with four other Welsh women artists, Chris Bird-Jones, SarahContinue reading “Breaking Textures.”
Before The Singletons…
The past few days I’ve been posting drawings of single figures I did during my recent residency in Germany. I worked quickly and intuitively with twigs and ink onto Khadi handmade paper (320gsm). But before that, I did a few sheets with multiple figures on. It took me a while to realise the paper neededContinue reading “Before The Singletons…”
Changed My Mind.
These two single figures drawn with twigs and ink have a dynamic relationship between them, even though I did not draw them with that intention. I thought that figure on the left needed something else on the paper but after I had done it, I changed my mind. But that’s the way it happens sometimes.Continue reading “Changed My Mind.”
What Is Their Story?
These little drawings from imagination I did on my recent artist residency in Germany are powerful on their own, I think. But some of them can be put together and become even more powerful, they start to tell a story. Look at these two. What is their story? I used a twig dipped in inkContinue reading “What Is Their Story?”
