Here’s a short film that Husb made of one of my adult teaching sessions at GS Artists in Swansea, part of the 9to90 Community Arts programme, originated and organised by the artist Jane Simpson. It’s a 2 hour session edited down to under 2 minutes.

Sketchbook Archives: 5
Back to January 2012, when I posted these to my blog. They weren’t all drawn then though. I started the blog in July 2011 to post my sketchbook drawings so I was choosing from several years worth of scribbles when I first began blogging.
More Finger Fun…
I loved getting my fingers stuck into poster paints the other day, and just having fun with them. I used a big brush as well. It’s nothing really, sploshing about, but still an opportunity to see how paints work and how colours work.
A Finger Of Fun…
Art can be very serious and it’s nice now and again to just have a bit of fun and play with it. I stuck my fingers in some kids’ poster paints and splatted them onto a sheet of sturdy paper. It was fun but also I got effects I wouldn’t normally when I paint becauseContinue reading “A Finger Of Fun…”
Learning About Cyanotypes…
I’m running a cyanotype session at GS Artists this coming Friday as part of their 9-to-90 Creative Community. I love working there, the atmosphere is terrific. If you want to come along, it’s free but you’ll need to reserve a place on Eventbrite because spaces are limited – here’s the link. There are lots ofContinue reading “Learning About Cyanotypes…”
Scribbling At The Steel Works…
Husb and I went to the demonstration to support industrial action at the TATA steelworks in Port Talbot, organised by the trade union, Unite. I sat down in the sunshine and had a scribble. There was a lot of red against the dark looming steelworks in the background.
Getting Ready To Print…
I’ve got three little lino blocks cut and ready to print, inspired by the research and drawings I did about the South Wales Miners’ Wives 1984-1985. I’ve set up the print station, everything’s ready to go. Eventually, these will be for sale here on my website.
A Short Film Of My Sketchbooks…
Husb made a short film of a lot of my sketchbook drawings. Many artists draw in sketchbooks but they’re rarely made public. So please have a look 😀
A Bit Of Fun…
I had a bit of fun with this little lino block. I teach art to adults a couple of days a week and I’m running a course on lino printing at the moment. We’re doing ‘jigsaw’ lino blocks, and today I demonstrated how to maximise colour using the ‘rainbow roll’ technique. It’s nice to doContinue reading “A Bit Of Fun…”

Looking back through my old blog posts month by month, I’ve reached December 2011, about 6 months after I began this blog. Older relatives were increasingly in hospital, I spent a lot of time there, visiting, a good place for sketching, quiet and peaceful.
