Hiya. Since the COVID19 lockdown began over a year ago, I have been painting every week with Ed Sumner’s live tutorials on the Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. Ed teaches painting skills by copying work by great artists. I write on my artblog every day and as I’ve been putting these paintings up ontoContinue reading “LATCH, The Children’s Cancer Charity, Painting Fundraiser”

Simple Heads No. 1
I get so precious about my art work sometimes to the point where I can hardly do anything so I’m trying to do a simple head a day for a while, see how I get on. Normally I work directly from life but I’m going to work from imagination on these, which is way outContinue reading “Simple Heads No. 1”
Monet In A Minute!
Husb has been making time-lapse films of the paintings I have been doing with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook on Fridays. It’s the whole painting in a minute!!! I wish!!!! This is one by Claude Monet, the “Cliff At Grainval”. To be honest, it isn’t one of my favourites, but thereContinue reading “Monet In A Minute!”
Stretched Out
Here’s the second 30-minute pose from this week’s life drawing. I prefer to draw reclining poses from the head or feet, to practice foreshortening, but this is the place I was standing so I had to make do with this stretched out pose. I wasn’t too keen to begin with but once I started puttingContinue reading “Stretched Out”
Hard On The Model
Here’s the first of the 30 minute poses from last night’s life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. I used sanguine conte crayon onto vintage paper size A2 – ish.

Walnut Two Ways
I used my home made walnut ink with two different tools at life drawing the other evening. I did the one above with a traditional dip pen, although I used a brush to do the hair and the swirly bits down the bottom. I find dip pens hard to use at first, I always pressContinue reading “Walnut Two Ways”
Just Carving
Today I was cutting lino blocks. That’s all, nothing exciting. Just carving into lino blocks. A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks I have some small screenprints for sale, inspired by my drawings of the taxidermy collection at Swansea Museum. I have given these antique artifacts a modern twist by combining them with imagesContinue reading “Just Carving”
Doing It Differently
Here’s a 30 minute pose from life drawing session last week. I pushed myself to do something a bit different and blocked in the figure roughly with a square end brush and some of my home made walnut ink, thinned to a pale-ish wash. Than I worked into it while it was wet with aContinue reading “Doing It Differently”
The Three Quickies
Here are the three quick poses that we started with at life drawing last night, two x 5 minutes and one x 10 minutes. I used conte crayons in sanguine and black onto some A3 vintage paper. I haven’t worked with this model before and it takes me a while to get used to drawingContinue reading “The Three Quickies”
