Loosely Locked Down (Day 62)

Blog, Daily LifeBy Roisín CuréMay 16, 20206 Comments

Saturday 16th May Today in my Zoom class I show some great students the benefits of a limited palette. I really enjoy spending time with them, albeit through a fibre optic cable connection. It is great to be with other adults after all this time – especially adults who like sketching and all things art,…

Loosely Locked Down: Day 60

Blog, Daily LifeBy Roisín CuréMay 14, 20208 Comments

I say “loosely” locked down, because we can travel 5km from our home now, and by next Monday certain shops will be open. I might be able to buy a vital piece of plumbing paraphernalia, which would mean I would be able to commission my en-suite bathroom (all the white ceramic bits – the sink,…

Living in Lockdown: Eugene Delacroix And Our Sketching Heritage

Blog, Daily LifeBy Roisín CuréMay 12, 2020Leave a comment

Every week, the Urban Sketching organisation hosts an hour of talks with some favourite sketchers from around the world. This Sunday gone was the turn of Mário Linhares and Hugo Costa, bot from Portugal. Unfortunately I couldn’t stay for Hugo’s talk, but I will catch up with it on You Tube. Mário spoke to Rob…

Zoom Class: Foliage, Near, Middle and Far

Daily Life, LessonsBy Roisín CuréMay 11, 20202 Comments

Saturday 9th May So…I started my new Zoom class with a group of students from all over the world. There are occasional tech issues, but somehow we get over the speedwobbles and manage to have two hours of concentrated learning. The above sketch was of a horse chestnut tree in my garden, and it was…

Lounging In Lockdown…Book Is Done (Day 55)

Blog, Daily Life, UncategorizedBy Roisín CuréMay 8, 20208 Comments

I am Lounging In Lockdown, because I handed in my latest book for publication the other day. Yes, I know I have mentioned this before now but I am going to milk it for a while longer! My dear husband Marcel came home with a bottle of Blanc de Blancs. “My mother loved this,” he…

Living in Lockdown: Clown Family (Day 54)

Blog, Daily LifeBy Roisín CuréMay 7, 20206 Comments

Wednesday 6th May I give my zoom class to a group of engaged and dedicated students. It is a taster class and I have nearly 30 participants. The only drawback is that there are too many people to get to know properly. The subject that we draw is a sketch of a pot plant in…

My Second-Ever Book! Urban Sketchers Handbook: “Drawing Expressive People”

Blog, Daily Life, NewsBy Roisín CuréMay 6, 202010 Comments

I am exceedingly excited to tell you that my new book is available for pre-order from Amazon. It’s one of the next books in the Urban Sketchers Handbook series, and it’s called Drawing Expressive People. I have always loved drawing people, ever since I was tiny and was a slave to Asterix and Obelix and…

Living In Lockdown Day 52: Long, Long Ago…

Blog, Daily LifeBy Roisín CuréMay 5, 20204 Comments

Sunday 3rd May A hundred and fifteen years ago, the last person to live in Tyrone House packed up and left. Actually, that’s not quite true: the caretaker stayed there for another few years, and was carried out in his bed when Republicans set the house on fire. I’ve heard many stories about the unpopularity…

Living In Lockdown – Sketching At Home (Day 52)

Blog, Daily LifeBy Roisín CuréMay 4, 20206 Comments

Sunday 3rd May Lockdown trends I have done: sourdough (can’t open the jar anymore because the lid is now glued on with starter); baking (my daughter does it all now); yoga (every day I do ten or twenty minutes and I hope this is one craze I won’t drop); zoom classes (fun!); made masks (they…

Living In Lockdown…Sketch With Me On Zoom!

Blog, Daily LifeBy Roisín CuréMay 3, 20204 Comments

Saturday 2nd May Plants Sketching your houseplants of not as hard as it might seem. I am going to show you how I did mine. You start by looking for a plant you think would make a suitable contender. You want one with some broad leaves, or you’ll get frustrated when things get fiddly. Then…
