This is a tiny part of a giant collage currently on display at The Senedd in Cardiff (until February 13th 2025). The individual pieces are greatly enlarged fragments that are in reality about the size of a finger nail. They started out as gel-plate prints that were ripped up and restructured into collages on A3Continue reading “#HomeKeyToHome : Going Large 2”

#HomeKeyToHome : Going Large 1.
I’m an educator as well as an artist and I work a couple of days a week for a national homelessness charity as an arts tutor. Over the past few months I’ve been working with a group of other staff and our members (service users) to develop an exhibition for The Senedd, the Welsh GovernmentContinue reading “#HomeKeyToHome : Going Large 1.”
Sketchbook Archives: 22
Here are a couple of rare landscapes from way back in 2012. I hardly ever portray landscape, I don’t feel much of a connection to be honest, these were done quickly with watercolours during a late summer walk at Mewslade on the Gower Peninsula and I had fun with the shapes and colours, rather thanContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 22”
A Bit Grinchy.
I haven’t posted for a couple of days because I went and did my back in on New Year’s Eve. OUCH! I’ve never had back pain before, what a shocker! It really stopped me in my tracks for 48 hours and it’s still a bit grinchy. Is that a technical term? 😀 That’s what itContinue reading “A Bit Grinchy.”
Heads And Carols.
Here are a few more heads I sketched at last week’s Christmas Carol and other music performance at The Westbourne pub. There was a great atmosphere with lots of audience participation. I scribbled these quickly with a borrowed Schneider pen, I forgot my usual ballpoint. It gives me a very different line, which took someContinue reading “Heads And Carols.”
Christmas Carols In The Pub.
I went to a nice festive do at a local pub just before Xmas, an evening of live acoustic music. Husb belongs to a choir, Cor Aderyn Du (the Blackbird Choir) who gave a rousing set of medieval carols and there were other performers too. Of course, I had to have a bit of aContinue reading “Christmas Carols In The Pub.”
Two Minute Head: 4
Christmas has been put to bed for another year and I’m chilling out after the mayhem. I hope everyone has had a nice time. I’ve been doing 2-minute sketches of heads from my scrapbook, just enough time to get the basic features nailed, but not enough time for faffing. It’s good practice.
Two Minute Head: 3
A quick, 2 minute. speed sketch from a load of heads I cut out from newspapers and stuck into a sketchbook. I don’t generally like to draw from photos, but doing it at speed makes it seem more intuitive and less like copying. Well it does to me anyway.
Two Minute Head: 2
I recently started to do quick sketches of heads from newspapers that I’d cut out and stuck in my scrapbook. Just 2 minutes for practice at getting down the essentials of a face, not the details. It’s good practice. I used to sketch out and about all the time, but I’ve become more reclusive sinceContinue reading “Two Minute Head: 2”
A Crisp Cold Day.
I’ve posted a couple of old sketchbook drawings recently, of drawings I did on cold, dark evenings but here’s one from my Khadi sketchbook that I did in the daytime, It was still crisp and cold though!
