#Caturday: Almost Together.
It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a photo of Bill (William ChatNoir) in the foreground and Sparta Puss in the background, just a metre or so from each other. Bill’s on the bed, Sparta Puss on the window seat and both are trying very hard to ignore each other. It’s been 14 months since weContinue reading “#Caturday: Almost Together.”
#Caturday – The Chunky One.
I know it’s late 😀 Yesterday was one of those hectic days – nice though. So here’s an analytical sketch of the chunky one – Sparta Puss, our naughty tortie. An analytical sketch is one that tries to analyse the shapes and get used to what’s going on before developing further. I’ll probably do 2Continue reading “#Caturday – The Chunky One.”
#Caturday Saturday: The Visitor.
It’s #Caturday and this is a local handsome boi who pops around for a visit every few weeks. He stops by for a chat (he’s very vocal) and receives some snacks before going on his way again. He seems very well cared for, I think he’s just a bit of a wanderer who likes toContinue reading “#Caturday Saturday: The Visitor.”
#Caturday Saturday Archives: 2
It’s #Caturday Saturday and here are some archive images that I posted in January and March 2012, just a few months after I started this blog. They’re mostly Sparta Puss but there’s one of the late, great and much loved ‘Bobbit‘, another short-haired naughty tortie who died in 2011 at the age of 18.
#Caturday Saturday Archives:1
It’s #Caturday Saturday and here are some old sketches from way back in 2011, when I first started this blog. Sparta Puss is here but so is the late, great and much loved ‘Little Ming’ aka ‘Ming The Merciless’, our tiny long-haired naughty tortie.
Just Checking ….
Just doing a quick check on the carving so far, using good quality tracing paper and a block of graphite. It’s a bit rough and ready but gives me an idea about how much cutting I need to do on this woodblock. I started carving it as a demonstration piece on an adult education sessionContinue reading “Just Checking ….”
Carving With Different Tools…
Carrying on carving my little piece of plywood. I like experimenting with my Flexcut tools. Some printmakers restrict themselves to a couple or three tools but I like to try them all out, they give interesting textures.
Drawing To Carving…
I sat on a bench on Kilvey Hill and did a very quick charcoal sketch of some trees. Then I redrew it onto a piece of plywood and started carving. Once the carving is finished, I’ll ink it and print it.
Smiling And Splendid Women.
I’m still trying out some ideas for my next artwork, which I’m basing on the South Wales Miner’s Wives in the Miner’s Strike of 1984 / 1985. I’m taking inspiration from a documentary video made at the time by the late Professor Jen Wilson. The film is on YouTube and although a bit clunky byContinue reading “Smiling And Splendid Women.”
