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 usedContinue reading “#Caturday Saturday”

#Caturday Saturday
I carried on playing with some Derwent Aquatone watercolour sticks that I was given a while back. I did a blend of Prussian Blue, Ultramarine and Light Blue a couple of weeks ago and today worked in some Spectrum Orange and Middle Chrome. The cat shapes are from a stencil I cut of our littleContinue reading “#Caturday Saturday”
#Caturday Saturday
I acquired some second hand Derwent Aquatone watercolour sticks recently and I’m giving them a try-out. I used a stencil I made of our little rescue cat William Chatnoir aka Bill, to draw a couple of outlines onto some heavyweight Khadi paper and used an Escoda brush to start blending three different blues together. NotContinue reading “#Caturday Saturday”
#Caturday Saturday
Someone gave me some slightly used Derwent AQUAtone watercolour sticks to try out (they’re now discontinued). I have a sheet of Khadi handmade paper. And I have a stencil in the shape of our little rescue cat Bill aka William Chatnoir. I’m planning to have some fun here.
Rubbing The Cat With Graphite!
I carried on today with the miniprint design I started a few days ago, using my smallest Flexcut tools. I put a piece of tracing paper over the lino and rubbed it hard with graphite block to see if I’d cut away everything I wanted to. I also gave the lino block a rub with the graphite,Continue reading “Rubbing The Cat With Graphite!”
The Smell Of Bacon.
I carried on today with the miniprint design I started a few days ago. I transferred it to a block of traditional grey lino and started cutting with my Flexcut tools. There’s a way to go yet. The design has been developed from a photo taken by Husb when our little rescue cat Bill (akaContinue reading “The Smell Of Bacon.”

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s my silhouette of Little Bill looking at a copy I did of van Gogh’s painting of his bedroom at Arles. Throughout the Covid lockdown, I spent my Friday lunchtimes on Facebook, joining in with the artist Ed Sumner, who ran the Cheese and Wine Paint Club. He did 72Continue reading “#Caturday”
#Caturday Silhouette: 22
It’s #Caturday Saturday once again and this week I put the positive silhouette of little Bill, our elderly rescue cat, onto a copy I made of a David Hockney painting during lockdown. The painter Ed Sumner ran a free Friday afternoon art class, The Cheese and Wine Painting Club, throughout Covid, teaching by copying the greatContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette: 22”

#Caturday Saturday seems to come around so quickly! This week I put the negative silhouette on top of a copy I made of a David Hockney painting during lockdown. The painter Ed Sumner ran a free Friday afternoon art class, The Cheese and Wine Painting Club, throughout Covid, teaching by copying the great artists. ThisContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette 21: The Hockney Cat.”
#Caturday Silhouette 20: Spring Has Sprung
It’s #Caturday Saturday again and this week I stuck the positive silhouette of our little rescue cat, Bill AKA William ChatNoir, onto a window with a blob of BluTack and took a photo of her framed by our garden. Spring has properly sprung and the plants are growing faster than I can keep them underContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette 20: Spring Has Sprung”
