I’ve been working on some linocuts as a change from the norm. There’s something freeing about the action of carving, especially with the new Pfeil tools that I’ve invested in. Having chunky fingers and tubby thumbs does have its disadvantages, however…

Prints are available from Kooywood Gallery, Cardiff or directly from me. Please email jamesdonovanart@gmail.com if interested.

I’ve been busy with some drawings recently. 

My day job ( I teach art at a school in Merthyr) takes over in term time but I make sure there’s still time to draw in front of the telly! 
  

Here are a couple of studies that I have on the go at the moment.
  

  

 I use soft Caran D’ache watercolour pencils that provide a range of intense or soft tones that allow me to blend colours smoothly. Just what I need after teaching, marking and preparing lessons!
