Building on top of what I did yesterday, I scribbled randomly with a white Daler Rowney soft pastel, instinctively concentrating the marks towards the centre. Then I added small amounts of colour – yellow, rose and blue. I don’t know how I’ll use this yet, I might rip it up for collage or I mightContinue reading “Scribbles On Scribbles”

Scribbles, Screens And Sketches
A while back, some years in fact, I made some photoscreens using little annotated drawings from one of my sketchbooks and I printed them up onto really nice Zerkall paper. Unfortunately, I didn’t like them. They didn’t seem, to me, to make the transition from sketch to screenprint. So I stuffed them in a drawContinue reading “Scribbles, Screens And Sketches”
Surreal Scribbles
Husb and I were just listening to the BBC4 concert of music by Ravi Shankar and Phillip Glass, with the awesome Anoushka Shankar playing. It was sublime. I decided to do a bit of automatic drawing, which the Surrealists did a lot of. I uploaded a photo of a pastel multilayered scribble that I workedContinue reading “Surreal Scribbles”
Getting Physical
I normally scribble on my own but today I was facilitating an art session and started off with a physical art exercise to warm us up. A lot of people don’t realise how physical art can be. I think that’s maybe because a lot of people do art as a hobby and perhaps don’t goContinue reading “Getting Physical”
Keep Still!
Why is it that the minute, THE VERY MINUTE, that you start sketching a sleeping cat they fidget??!! We’re just trained monkeys. Nothing more. 😦 A lot of my artwork is available on my Artfinder gallery. If you’d like to have a look, please click on the image below or the Artfinder linkContinue reading “Keep Still!”
Somewhere Special To Look At Mobile Phones
Husb and I just got back from Oriel Ceri Richard’s Gallery, at Taliesin Art Centre, which has been at the centre of protests in recent months because of plans by Swansea University to close it. It was opened in 1984 and named after Welsh painter Ceri Richards. It has showcased local, national and international artists,Continue reading “Somewhere Special To Look At Mobile Phones”
Barbie Poop And Twin Peaks
So, my young niece sent me a link to YouTube a few months ago and asked if I could make her a rainbow unicorn cake like the one on YouTube for her 18th birthday. It looked easy enough. So her birthday’s here and I’ve been cooking for a couple of days to get herContinue reading “Barbie Poop And Twin Peaks”
A Gallery Visit
Husb and I paid a visit to the lovely Workers Gallery in Ynyshir in the Rhondda Valley today. I am one of the gallery artists and I wanted to change the work I’m displaying there. Each gallery artist has a bit of wall to display their work. The Workers also has a Main Gallery forContinue reading “A Gallery Visit”
A Last Little Quickie
And here’s the last of the very quick watercolour sketches I made recently, sitting in the sunshine on the clifftop in Southgate overlooking the sea. I concentrated on capturing the flow of the colours before me, rather than recording details. I’ve never been particularly into land / seascape art so I don’t have any hardContinue reading “A Last Little Quickie”
Quick Little Pastel
Today I was giving someone some tips for using pastels, so I thought the best way was to have a bit of a scribble myself. It’s so nice to work onto proper pastel paper; the darker tone of the paper and the toothed texture make a huge difference. That’s half the battle with art, usingContinue reading “Quick Little Pastel”
