I carried on with this little cat piece, using Derwent Aquatone watercolour sticks onto a heavy watercolour paper with Escoda Versátil brushes. The cat shapes are from a stencil I cut of our little Bill the rescue cat some time ago. This is the first thing I’ve done with the Aquatone sticks and I’m getting used to what they can do, especially with blending. Once they’re dry, the colour doesn’t dissolve when you put water on, unlike normal watercolour paints. I’m thinking I might draw some detailing on top with Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens. Experimenting like this is part and parcel of an arts practice, you never stop learning.
