Faking It

This is the second Friday that I’ve joined in with the midday paintalong hosted by the Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. It’s a one and  a half hour session painting a classic artwork.

It’s an hour and a half live session and today’s painting was a cat and goldfish by the Fauvist painter Henri Matisse.

The First Cut

I made a start on carving my two latest lino blocks. The first cut is made with my smallest cutting tool to carefully carve the outlines. It’s the fiddliest bit of the process, I think and it takes time and concentration. It rained today for the first time in ages and Sparta Puss commandeered myContinue reading “The First Cut”

Scruffy, Bitey, Digital Cat

I do, it’s lovely. I’ve been trying to photograph the little furry ones but they don’tContinue reading “3 Blurry Cats”

The Digital Cat

I’ve been using a free Markers app on my Galaxy Samsung tablet (note 8) for a few years now but there was one drawing tool I had not used so I’ve been having a go with it this evening, using Sparta Puss as a model. She looks impressed, not!    

The Continuous Line Kitty

  I’ve been neglecting my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet recently. It has a free drawing app on it, one called ‘Markers’ that I really like using but haven’t done so for weeks. I’ve got a bit of a cold and I’m slobbing out on the settee and it was easier to reach for myContinue reading “The Continuous Line Kitty”

A Gig On #Caturday

  Husb and I just got back from a gig at Cinema & Co with the fabulous psychedelic band Omnichron. Of course, I had to have a scribble.     Here’s a lovely song for #Caturday  by Omnichron – it’s about a cat called Marmalade…
