#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. I’ve also blocked in the background with Indian Yellow, a colour I particularlyContinue reading “A Tiny Canvas: 2”

A Tiny Canvas

I’m doing a tiny (10 x 10 cms) canvas painting of Eric House-Tiger which I’m going to donate for a raffle prize in a local community event. 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”

#Caturday Archives: 55

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”

#Caturday Archives:54

Here’s a digital drawing of Sparta Puss from September 2017. I was experimenting with a Markers app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8, getting used to it. I did a lot of digital drawings for a while, then I got bored with it and went back to analogue drawing.

#Caturday Archives: 53

Here’s the late, great one-eyed Little Ming for this week’s #Caturday sketchbook archive, she was a very hairy tiny tortoiseshell cat that we rescued from neglect. Poor thing nearly died and spent several nights in the vet’s hospital and had to have an eye removed because her “owner” had neglected her so much. She wasContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 53”

#Caturday: Two Cats And A Horse

There’s an Open Weekend at Swansea Print Workshop coming up (see below) and I’m sorting out some of my work to put on sale. I’ve been doing some little linocut prints onto postcards so I’ll pop these into small frames and sell them at relatively low prices. They are all embellished with chine collé, usingContinue reading “#Caturday: Two Cats And A Horse”

#Caturday: Winter Window

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here that little block I cut last week, printed in black with a touch of gold foil chine collé highlighting the moon. The foil is from sweets (candies); there are fewer manufacturers making them these days, I find them in upmarket retailers and traditional old-fashioned sweet shops.
