I cut out a cat silhouette based on our Bill a while back and rediscovered them, the positive and negative, as I’m clearing out my plans chests (that’s another story). I’m having fun playing with these little silhouettes on different backgrounds. Here’s the positive, I did the negative on the same background a couple ofContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette: 2”

#Caturday (a bit late again).
It was #Caturday Saturday yesterday not today, Sunday. But what’s 24 hours between friends? I cut this silhouette of Bill (aka William Chat-Noir aka Phoebe) our little rescue cat, earlier this year. I found it while I was sorting through my plans chest today (desperately trying to declutter) and I realised I hadn’t even begunContinue reading “#Caturday (a bit late again).”
Sketchbook Archives 13: They Don’t Stay Little!
Out and about, people watching and scribbling them into my sketchbook, from August 2012, about a year after I started this blog. They’re all drawings of Husb and family, and all the children are grown up now. They don’t stay little for long.
Bob’s Your Uncle!
I had a bit of a play on Photoshop, using a crop from a photo I took a while back (see below). I put it through the Gradient Map and Bob’s Your Uncle! Pretty colours. I took the original photo a few weeks ago. It’s a reflexion of my light fitting on top of aContinue reading “Bob’s Your Uncle!”
#Caturday Saturday
It’s #Caturday Saturday once again, don’t the weeks rush by quickly? Here’s Sparta Puss all cwtched on a blankie on a giant cushion on the window seat, posing in front of some brilliant sunflowers.
A year ago, Husb and I took a short break in North Wales, near Eryri (Snowdon). It poured down! But I did some expressionistic drawings with soft pastels into my Daler Rowney black paper sketchbook, you can see one in the background (above). Click here to see a short film about it. I worked veryContinue reading
Let’s Get Ready To Roller…..
I’m rollering grey paint (Liquitex) onto black canvas (The Works) with a sponge roller. I’m trying to be as bold with my painting as I was recently with my drawings during my residency in Germany. Let’s see where this goes…
#Caturday: Almost Together.
It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a photo of Bill (William ChatNoir) in the foreground and Sparta Puss in the background, just a metre or so from each other. Bill’s on the bed, Sparta Puss on the window seat and both are trying very hard to ignore each other. It’s been 14 months since weContinue reading “#Caturday: Almost Together.”
Getting Ready…
Getting ready to try a new approach to painting. I bought some square black canvasses, quite cheap in The Works, and I’m going to have a go at rollering Liquitex Heavy Body acrylic paint directly onto them with a sponge roller. I have a plan. Let’s see how (if) it works out.
#Caturday – The Chunky One.
I know it’s late 😀 Yesterday was one of those hectic days – nice though. So here’s an analytical sketch of the chunky one – Sparta Puss, our naughty tortie. An analytical sketch is one that tries to analyse the shapes and get used to what’s going on before developing further. I’ll probably do 2Continue reading “#Caturday – The Chunky One.”
