#Caturday Saturday

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”

Mulberry Paper And The Ghost Prints

Here are some of my little linocuts on the drying rack at Swansea Print Workshop. 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”

#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

Aaaaaand it’s that time of the week again, when the world puts their cats on show. I started sketching Sparta Puss earlier, when she was asleep, then she woke up and walked away. She’s a tortoiseshell, or maybe a calico, but mostly black with flashes of ginger and white socks. Adorable.

I did some a small edition of four prints from my newest little linocut at Swansea Print Workshop. I printed in black Caligo Cranfield SafeWash onto Hereford Book paper and for this one I used some handmade mulberry paper in a rich gold colour for chine collé. The model is our little rescue cat, Bill aka William ChatNoir, trying, and succeeding in scroungingContinue reading “#Caturday Saturday”

#Caturday Archives: 19

Here’s a little scribble of Sparta Puss from my sketchbook archives way back in April 2013, when she was just 3 years old. She was still naughty though! She’s sitting on top of our gas boiler looking out of the kitchen window at the amelanchier tree which is just starting to bud. On the leftContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 19”

#Caturday: Sketchbook Kitties.

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a couple of pages from my sketchbook in 2012. Husb and I had four cats then, so it was easy to find a constant supply of feline models.

#Caturday Nadolig Llawen

It’s that time of year again, when I dig out Husb’s digital drawing of Snowflake Sparta Puss to wish everyone Nadolig Llawen, Merry Christmas, Cool Yule. Have a good one xxx

The Welsh May Cat: Y Gath Mis Mai…

Sparta Puss, our 14 year old Naughty Tortie, is a bit of a rampaging murderous scourge of anything smaller than her that moves. Worse than that, she brings her prey into the house. People tell us she’s bringing us ‘presents’ but you know, I’d rather go without her little gifts. The worst thing of allContinue reading “The Welsh May Cat: Y Gath Mis Mai…”
