Most of the images I post for #Caturday are drawings or prints of one of my cats, but this week here’s Sparta Puss “helping” me when I was painting a poster. She often tries to “help”.

It’s Saturday / Caturday again and here’s another from my cat drawing archives, our youngest, Sparta Puss, aka Sparty Pants, Spartsy and Tyrant. She’s drawn with conte crayons in black, white and sanguine into a brown paper sketchbook.

It’s Saturday #Caturday again and here are some kitty drawings from my sketchbook archives. Sparta Puss was dozing on top of the boiler in the kitchen in front of the window. It’s Spring and the amelanchier tree in the background is blooming and the washing is being dried with solar power.

It’s Saturday #Caturday again and here are some kitty drawings from my sketchbook archives. Sparta Puss was sleeping on my lap so I did a few quick sketches of her, all on the same page, trying to capture the essence of her cattitude rather than doing a detailed drawing. I like the way the scribblesContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 10”

It’s Saturday / Caturday again and here’s one from my kitty archives. One day Sparta Puss stayed still long enough for me to do quite a detailed drawing of her, perched on top of our vintage glass display cabinet that we found in the street one day. Not sure if it’s a 1930s one orContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 9”

It’s Saturday/Caturday once again and here’s one from 10 years ago, with Little Ming dozing in front, Sparta Puss snoozing behind. Little Ming is no longer with us, she was a delightful cat that Husb and I rescued from neglect. She was very ill and not expected to survive but pulled through and lived with usContinue reading “#Caturday Archives #8”
Speedy “Picasso” and Cat (Video)
Here’s a one-minute time lapse video of the recent painting I did with Ed Sumner’s “Cheese and Wine Painting Club”, a portrait of a woman by Pablo Picasso. It features my cat Sparta Puss, who likes to watch while I work. And give a few death stares to camera!

It’s Saturday/Caturday once again and here’s my earliest drawing of Sparta Puss, when she was a little kitten (she’s 13 now). A friend noticed the sinister arrangement of fur on her forehead, it looks a bit like a skull head. She nicknamed her “The Third Kitten of the Apocalypse”. Luckily the strange markings changed asContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 7”

It’s Saturday / Caturday again and here’s an archive kitty drawing. This naughty cat is a very young Sparta Puss and Husb caught her expression perfectly. He used a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with a free drawing app called “Markers”.

Aaaaand it’s #Caturday again, so I’ve been raiding my kitty archives. Here’s Sparta Puss mooching around while I scribbled her. Each little sketch took a few seconds, I doubt if I spent as much as a minute on any of them. Sketching at speed is good for focusing on the important details, capturing the essenceContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 5”
