Just Sitting And Sketching

Husb and I went to a barbecue at a lovely neighbour’s house yesterday evening: the weather was warm and gentle; the company lovely and cheerful; and there were many musicians making music. I sat quietly in a corner and sketched a bit while people listened to the music.

#Caturday – A Tiny Canvas: 4

It’s #Caturday Saturday and this little painting of our young rescue cat, Eric House-Tiger, is finished, ready to go off to be raffled in a community event locally. I used Unbleached Titanium, Raw Umber, Titanium White, Burnt Umber, Indian Yellow and Emerald Green Liquitex Heavy Body acrylic paint onto a 10 x 10 cms primedContinue reading “#Caturday – A Tiny Canvas: 4”

A Tiny Canvas: 3

Stage 3 of my tiny (10 x 10 cms) canvas painting of our young Tabby rescue, Eric House-Tiger, working in some finer details with Unbleached Titanium, Raw Umber, Titanium White and Emerald Green Liquitex Heavy Body acrylic paint. It’s a bit of whimsy that’s going to be donated for a raffle prize in a localContinue reading “A Tiny Canvas: 3”

A Tiny Canvas: 2

This is stage 2 of a tiny (10 x 10 cms) canvas painting I’m doing of our young Tabby rescue, Eric House-Tiger. I’m getting in some dark and mid-tones, and highlights using Raw Umber and Titanium White Liquitex heavy body acrylic paint.

This is the first stage, transfer the drawing and work over the lines with a thin later of transparent Raw Umber so I don’t smudge the pencil linesContinue reading “A Tiny Canvas”

Sketchbook Archives: 66

Back to October 2016 for this sketch archive. Technically not a sketchbook; I attended an event and took my drawing board and sheets of paper prepared with white gesso and my own home-made walnut husk ink. I really enjoy making art in public.

Here’s another little drawing of Sparta Puss from September 2017. I did a lot of sketching with a Markers app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 back then, until I got bored with it and went back to analogue. I’ve never gone back.

Here’s another little drawing of Sparta Puss from September 2017. I did a lot of sketching with a Markers app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 back then, until I got bored with it and went back to analogue. I haven’t been tempted to return to digital drawing, I like the feel of drawing materialsContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 55”

Sketchbook Archives: 65

Ten years ago, the July weather was mixed and I was on the beach for some of it. But it was still cool enough to enjoy some indoor events. There was quite a fashion for public storytelling back then, so I had a bit of a scribble as I listened. The sessions took place inContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 65”
