#Caturday Saturday

Someone gave me some slightly used Derwent AQUAtone watercolour sticks to try out (they’re now discontinued). I have a sheet of Khadi handmade paper. And I have a stencil in the shape of our little rescue cat Bill aka William Chatnoir. I’m planning to have some fun here.

#Caturday

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s my silhouette of Little Bill looking at a copy I did of van Gogh’s painting of his bedroom at Arles. Throughout the Covid lockdown, I spent my Friday lunchtimes on Facebook, joining in with the artist Ed Sumner, who ran the Cheese and Wine Paint Club. He did 72Continue reading “#Caturday”

#Caturday Silhouette: 22

It’s #Caturday Saturday once again and this week I put the positive silhouette of little Bill, our elderly rescue cat, onto a copy I made of a David Hockney painting during lockdown. The painter Ed Sumner ran a free Friday afternoon art class, The Cheese and Wine Painting Club, throughout Covid, teaching by copying the greatContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette: 22”

#Caturday Silhouette 21: The Hockney Cat.

#Caturday Saturday seems to come around so quickly! This week I put the negative silhouette on top of a copy I made of a David Hockney painting during lockdown. The painter Ed Sumner ran a free Friday afternoon art class, The Cheese and Wine Painting Club, throughout Covid, teaching by copying the great artists. ThisContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette 21: The Hockney Cat.”

#Caturday Silhouette 20: Spring Has Sprung

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and this week I stuck the positive silhouette of our little rescue cat, Bill AKA William ChatNoir, onto a window with a blob of BluTack and took a photo of her framed by our garden. Spring has properly sprung and the plants are growing faster than I can keep them underContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette 20: Spring Has Sprung”

#Caturday Silhouette 19: In The Garden

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and this week I stuck the negative silhouette of our little rescue cat, Bill AKA William ChatNoir, onto a window with a blob of BluTack and took a photo of our garden through it.

#Caturday Silhouette 18: Mari Lwyd Again.

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and this week I have put the positive silhouette of Our Bill (the rescue cat) onto a rough proof print of my latest Mari Lwyd linocut. I find that with traditional grey lino, it can take one or two attempts to get a good print from a newly cut block, soContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette 18: Mari Lwyd Again.”

#Caturday Silhouette 17: The Mari Lwyd

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and this week I have put the negative silhouette of Our Bill (the rescue cat) onto a rough proof print of my latest Mari Lwyd linocut. My eyes keep flickering back and forth between the cat and the eye of the Mari. Weird!

#Caturday Silhouette 16: More Stripey.

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a positive silhouette of Bill aka William ChatNoir, our sweet little black rescue cat. She’s on the same background as last #Caturday. It’s Fabriano drawing paper I prepared with a couple of coats of gesso and then dribbled my home made walnut husk ink onto it. When it wasContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette 16: More Stripey.”
