Here’s a recent life drawing which is quite academic in the way I approached it. Our model was standing on a low table and I was sitting on a chair looking up slightly so I got to draw from an interesting but weird angle, and I needed to make sure I had the proportions andContinue reading “Weird Angles”

Marks Of A Life Lived
Here’s the long pose from the most recent life drawing session. I had a good viewing position, with some great foreshortening on that right leg. I love foreshortening. It drives me nuts when I’m doing it but I enjoy a challenge! Our model bears the marks of a life lived on her body, with aContinue reading “Marks Of A Life Lived”
Recycle and Draw
For this life drawing I recycled a drawing I’d done before that I wasn’t happy with, done with my home-made walnut ink and a dip pen. It just didn’t work out so, waste not, want not. Because I was working on top of existing lines, I relaxed and let myself go a bit, didn’t getContinue reading “Recycle and Draw”
Life Drawing And Home Cooking
This life model likes to hold an unusual pose and this one was great, but an upside down face is really hard to draw. And the foreshortening was wicked. I used Daler Rowney artist’s pastels onto a heavy textured vintage paper, size about A1 – quite big. There was a spotlight on over our modelContinue reading “Life Drawing And Home Cooking”

Through September I mostly blogged about my charity fundraiser, but now I’m going to be posting about my everyday arts practice so here goes with some of the life drawings that have been building up over the past month. I wasContinue reading “Normal Service Has Resumed …….”

It’s been a fantastic month.Continue reading “Thank you for contributing”
Tomorrow Is The Last Day …..
Tomorrow is the last day of my fundraiser for LATCH: The Children’s Cancer Charity. September is Child Cancer Awareness Month and I chose to raise funds for LATCH because it is a wonderful, small, independent charity that has helped my young nephew throughout three and a half years of painful chemotherapy and surgery. These paintingsContinue reading “Tomorrow Is The Last Day …..”
The Red Tree At High Speed And A Cat
I painted this “fake” of Piet Mondrian’s “Evening: The Red Tree” recently and Husb made a time-lapse film of it – all done in under a minute – I wish!! Sparta Puss hung out with me while I painted. Here’s the video below. This is the last few days of my September fundraiser for LATCH:Continue reading “The Red Tree At High Speed And A Cat”
Pandemic, Paintings And Podcast
It’s the last few days to see my exhibition of “Pandemic Paintings” on Swansea Print Workshop’s digital gallery. It’s our September show and I’m chuffed to be showing the “fakes” I’ve done with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. Here are a few of them but there are plenty more in theContinue reading “Pandemic, Paintings And Podcast”

PODCAST SEPTEMBER 2021 Hiya, Rosie Scribblah here. http://www.scribblah.co.uk Welcome to my latest podcast. It’s called 10 Paintings – I don’t do long podcasts.
