Tenby in pen and Ink I wanted to begin another blog with this platform to use and express my love for doing art. This artistic blog is not just confined to my personal art journey but my teaching practice with community learners in the South Wales area in the UK. As a start this image shows how I love to draw in pen and ink. This image is one of a few I have done of Tenby, a couple of years ago now. It took many hours but it was so relaxing and the use of bottle ink (for washes of ink) and technical pen was my prefered method to represent this scene. I love the way the contrast helped to express this scene with a real feeling of atmosphere. I love the way it takes a long time to build up an image like this. It enables me to focus and express my flow of creativity at a pace that I can control. Another pen and ink study is also of Cardiff castle and the main street viewing it. I used the same method and apporach for this scene as I did for tenby above....

This was a result of using pastel pencil on pastelmat paper, this was a demonstration done in an art class last month. Having spent a term in this class working in pencil and watercolour on pastel mat, and being inspiried by Jason Morgan a Welsh pastel and oil painting artist. I was suprised how great the paper takes layers of pastel. This was very engaging to do with the use of watercolour washes as the first layer and then added pastel pencil strokes to build up the tones and the final stages of the white wiskers were added at the end, I particulary like the eyes. I hope to attempt this method on my Spaniel again.
