Continuous line drawing without looking down at drawing.
I am always amused by the final result!

First Phone Art
I couldn’t believe I didn’t have a notepad or book in bag! I was waiting for a meeting without a writer’s or artist’s tools!
So I fiddled a bit with the programmes on my new phone and found an application with colour and lines, transforming my chubby finger mark into doodles.
And here is the result!
Happy drawing!:)
Storm at sea
I was out having a walk on the beach when I saw the horizon clouds brewing up a storm. And just before I got caught in it, I took some photos, and later sketched the scene with an ink pen and water wash.
Happy drawing:)
Ink Head
I based this picture on a sculpture I had seen in a shop window in Denmark. It is after the style of Franz Xaver Messerschmidt who cast many heads in the 1780’s, exploring different facial expressions.
The wonderful sculptured bust leant itself well to drawing with ink and wash. What fun!
Happy drawing:)
Musketeer in Ink
I’m really enjoying drawing in ink! I love how a little water on a brush smudges the ink nicely! I have been practising looking closely and training my hand to capture shapes.
This musketeer appeared at the start of a running event, which set off at the firing of his gun!
Happy drawing!
Giant Pins
Some amazingly big knitting needles welcoming us to the woollen mill of Melin Tregwynt, Pembrokeshire. A drizzly day outside saw us making for the lovely cafe, and then a tour of the mill.
Their designs are in Welsh Doublecloth which results in a cloth that is reversible.
I fell in love with this lambswool green knot garden design! It’s attractive as a bedspread as was a wall hanging :).
Danger – watch out!
I didn’t know whether to put this on my art blog or my knitting blog! This all-in-one knitted suit is a piece of art at an exhibition exploring materials and textiles as a medium. It’s by Freddie Robins, and it was prompted by the regulations of air liners saying that knitting needles are not permitted when travelling, as they could be lethal!
