Gelli Plate workshop

I ran a class of 12 for a Gelli Plate workshop with stencils.

Half the group were printmaking or art buddies, the other
half crafters.

It was held in the Catchy Crafts store in my town of Hornsby.

 I started to set up at the head of the table, got there nice and early.

 Today, making cards with Gelli prints.

Cartooning and caricatures

Over the years I have had to put drawing skills to work as commissions,
 of caricatures, and sometimes cartoons.

This work sometimes is a gift, or can be put on all sorts of surfaces, including
cakes, Tshirts etc.



Figurative work

I spent many years doing Life Drawing, and used many
mediums.

Here is a selection.

 Ink and wash.
 Ink by brush sketch on pastel background. 
 Pastel and charcoal pencil.
 Pastel and charcoal pencil.

Pastels at Thom's

Thom, a good friend and fellow artist, and I did some nice
pastel art together.

One is of a Wiseman's Ferry scene, referenced from his photos.

The other is a Firework Grevillea. It is more design, or decorative
art.
