Here’s a little bit of a van Gogh sunflower from the copy I painted in one of Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Clubs on Facebook. I’m selling the painting to raise funds for LATCH, The Children’s Cancer Charity which has given fantastic support to a young relative over the past few years and helpedContinue reading “Sticking Up In Little Spikes….”

Just A Reminder
Just a reminder that this is one of my “fake” masterpieces that I’ve put up for sale to support LATCH The Children’s Cancer Charity that has given so much support to a young relative over the past few years. This is a copy of one of John Constable’s study of clouds, he did lots. I’veContinue reading “Just A Reminder”
Another One Gone!
See this van Gogh painted in a minute!!!! 😀 Thrilled to bits that this copy I painted of van Gogh’s “Sunset at Wheatfield Near Arles” has been sold for my fundraiser for LATCH, The Children’s Cancer Charity. It’s one of nearly 60 paintings I have done since the start of the pandemic lockdown early lastContinue reading “Another One Gone!”
Sold, Sold, Sold And Sold!
I’ve donated 10 of the “fakes” I’ve painted with the Cheese and Wine Painting Club to raise funds for LATCH, the Welsh Children’s Cancer Charity that has been so supportive to my young nephew here over the past four years. We’re running the fundraiser throughout September and already sold FOUR, which is brilliant. If you’dContinue reading “Sold, Sold, Sold And Sold!”
Lying Down On The Job
My favourite pose each week at life drawing seshes is the recliner. I like it best when I’m not head on to the model, but observing from the head or feet, because it exaggerates the foreshortening, which I love. This one is great, really enjoyed it. I used black conte crayon and Daler Rowney artist’sContinue reading “Lying Down On The Job”
Lush Colours
Here’s the life drawing from last week’s session – a one hour pose. It took me a while to get into it – it’s late and after a day’s work so I’m usually really tired by then. But sometimes the tiredness frees me up a bit. I love the lush colours of my Daler RowneyContinue reading “Lush Colours”
Got A Bit Of Culture
Husb and I got a bit of culture today. We booked a slot at the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery to see the new show, Terra Ferma by Carlos Bunga and to check in with the permanent collections, always something new to see there. I had a scribble through the door to the main gallery, withContinue reading “Got A Bit Of Culture”
I Was Ruthless
This was a 25 minute pose at last week’s life drawing session, but the first one I tried (below) just wasn’t grabbing me, so I started again. Sometimes when something isn’t working out, I keep at it and try and work it through, but this time, it really wasn’t getting anywhere. So I was ruthless.Continue reading “I Was Ruthless”
The Short Poses
We start our Thursday night life drawing classes with short poses to warm up. I enjoy these because they force you to concentrate on the essence of what’s there, rather than getting distracted by details. I used black and sanguine conte crayons onto some vintage paper, size A3, half the size of the pieces I’veContinue reading “The Short Poses”
Another Week, Another Life Drawing
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop, this is a 25 minute pose drawn with a sanguine conte crayon. Off to bed now …. 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 givenContinue reading “Another Week, Another Life Drawing”
