It’s #StandingStoneSunday again and I’m posting an old favourite, Y Garreg Coch (The Red Stone) in Carmarthenshire.

GrrrRR
Here’s the little Type arrangement printed up. I’ve been trying out different ink / paper combos and I think this is the best one for me. The ink is Cranfield Safe-Wash Relief, in Process Cyan and Process Magenta with a dab of Extender in the middle. The paper is HoSho, printed on the smooth sideContinue reading “GrrrRR”
Good Wood.
I was at Swansea Print Workshop this afternoon and set up some of the beautiful vintage wooden type to carry on my experiments to find a good combination of ink and paper. The wood is so beautiful, each piece shows the patina of many years of inking and cleaning.
Quick And Little.
Here’s another little sketch from the recent heavy metal gig I went to. These scribbles are small and very quick but they’re important, they train your eye and your hand to work together, and to focus on the essentials before you. Artist’s sketchbooks are a record of our practice, because art is something that hasContinue reading “Quick And Little.”
The Triples.
I carried on with my large paintings on paper, 5 at the same time. I worked on top of the pink foreground I’d blocked out with a Dioxazine Purple wash, sketching in faces and bodies of women and girls, in threes, triples. It’s a very basic starting point. I’m working entirely from my imagination, noContinue reading “The Triples.”
Hairy Man.
I saw him at the Mondo Generator gig the other night. I was drawing legs, as I’ve been doing lately at metal gigs, but I thought his hair and beard were interesting enough to look up.
More Metal Legs.
Husb and I went to a heavy metal gig on Tuesday – yes it was a school night but it finished at 11pm so not too late. Mondo Generator played at The Bunkhouse, a tiny rock venue in Swansea. I couldn’t pass up the chance to see and hear the legendary Nick Oliveri play andContinue reading “More Metal Legs.”
Barbie Pink!
I carried on with the paintings I started the other day. I’m working on 5 at the same time. After blocking in a blue background onto prepared paper, I painted foregrounds in pink – I went to see the Barbie film at the weekend – maybe it influenced me 😀 I’m using Somerset paper (300Continue reading “Barbie Pink!”
Paintings And Rug.
I started painting onto some Somerset paper (300 gsm) with Liquitex Heavy Body acrylic. I’m not using any preliminary drawings, I have a vague idea of what I want and I’m going to see what the paint and the brush do. This lovely blue is the first stage. I left the large sheets to dryContinue reading “Paintings And Rug.”
Ready To Slap It On!
What am I up to? I’m pushing right out of my comfort zone, that’s what! This is the beginning of something very new. I hope it works. I’ve mixed up some Liquitex Heavy Body acrylic paint – Titanium White with 2 Pthalo Blues – red hue and green hue. And I’m going to slap itContinue reading “Ready To Slap It On!”
