I’m going to be running some creative training sessions soon and one of them is going to be about stamping. That’s not moving your feet up and down with force, but the practice of creating new artworks from rubber – or lino or wood – stamps. I’ve been doing some work in this technique, inspiredContinue reading “Stamping!”

Just A Quick One
I didn’t do any art today, bogged down with admin and cooking, so I had a quick scribble when a relative popped round this evening. My friends and family are fair game. If they sit still for a few minutes, it’s inevitable that they’ll end up in my sketchbook. It’s a very small sketchbookContinue reading “Just A Quick One”
A Digital Head
I’m making some headway (pardon the pun) with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet. I haven’t drawn with it for a couple of years but I restarted a couple of weeks ago in life drawing group at Swansea Print Workshop. I’m using a free app called Markers and I like the simplicity of it. However,Continue reading “A Digital Head”
Life Drawing And Cake
This is a fairly quick drawing I did at life drawing session in Swansea Print Workshop on Thursday evening. I’m getting back into drawing with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 using the free Markers app. There is some quite extreme foreshortening with that right foot. I took along an apricot upside-down cake for theContinue reading “Life Drawing And Cake”
Look What I’ve Got!
Look what I’ve got! Ner nerner ner ner! 😛 Husb and I did a road trip up to Ynyshir in The Rhondda Valley today and bought this gorgeous Victorian book press off the charming Mike. I’ll use it for lino and wood block prints. I don’t know the make or date of manufacture so ifContinue reading “Look What I’ve Got!”
The Art. The Megaliths. The Film. The Rain!
Coming soon to Cinema & Co, an exhibition by Rose Davies, a film by Melvyn Williams, an illustrated talk by Dewi Bowen…….. For a limited period I am putting a new drawing of an ancient monument on my Artfinder gallery every day. If you’d like to check them out, please clickContinue reading “The Art. The Megaliths. The Film. The Rain!”
Little Hairy Poser
Just time for a quick scribble in my sketchbook this evening. This is Ming the Merciless, our little hairy cat. She’s sixteen now and sleeps even more than cats normally do, which makes sketching much easier. Mind you, I’ve never met a cat yet that didn’t like to be drawn, they’re such a bunchContinue reading “Little Hairy Poser”
Three’s A Crowd
I often go along to demonstrations, vigils, protests partly because they often reflect my own views but also because it’s a good opportunity to draw people in groups, crowds, in relation to each other and to their surroundings, in action and in repose. Lots of different things to draw, good practice. Of course, you can’tContinue reading “Three’s A Crowd”

Fingertip Drawing
Here’s the second digital drawing I did at the life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop earlier in the week. I was struggling with the stylus. It needs delicate handing and I’m out of practice, I haven’t used it for a couple of years, so I ditched the stylus and started using my fingertips, whichContinue reading “Fingertip Drawing”
