#Caturday Archives: 28

Back to October 2014 for this #Caturday Archive. I was still having fun with digital drawing, using a free Markers app on my Samsung Tablet Note 8. SpartaPuss the Naughty Tortie was about 5 years old here. She had her back to me but was interested in what I was doing, you can tell byContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 28”

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: Just Scribbling

It’s getting stormy outside, Autumn is definitely here so Husb and I and cwtched inside the house with the cats. I had a quick scribble when Sparta Puss sat next to me. She was looking a bit cross, but that’s not unusual for her!

Here’s a digital drawing of the Late, Great Little Ming, a tiny, fluffy, pretty one-eyed Naughty Tortie, who was also the scourge of our local vet’s surgery! We could pick her up, cwtch her, snuggle her, but when she was put into a cat basket and taken to the vet, she turned into a demon!Continue reading “#Caturday Archives: 27”

Here’s a drawing from June 2014, when Husb and I visited the Belvedere Gallery in Vienna. I saw this wonderful sculpture of a cat by Franz Barwig and scribbled it.

Mulberry Paper And The Ghost Prints

I’ve printed the block, “Should Bill Get Some Bacon?”, with a golden yellow mulberry paper as chine collé but I also took secondary, or “ghost” prints each time onto tissue paper to prevent the build-up of ink on the block.Continue reading “Mulberry Paper And The Ghost Prints”

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”

Here’s a digital drawing of Sparta Puss from May 2014, when she was coming up to 5 years old. The nice thing about sketching on my Galaxy Tablet Note 8 is that I could hit the “save” button regularly and make a record of the stages of the drawing. I used a Markers free appContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 25”

It’s such a long time ago now, that I did a month-long artist residency in Pakistan, it was wonderful. And I met a Pakistani cat called Messi. So I drew him. I was going through a digital drawing phase at the time, using a free Markers app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.
