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”

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.

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”

Can you believe it’s come round again! It’s #Caturday Saturday and here we are back in December 2016 in North Cyprus. This is one of the semi-feral cats living in our hotel garden. They were very well fed by both guests and staff and mostly quite tame.

Can you believe it’s come round again! It’s #Caturday Saturday and here’s Sparta Puss back in September 2016, “helping” me when I was sketching Husb. She likes to “help” a lot, particularly in the garden. I plant things, she pulls them back up. And clean laundry too, needs helping by being lolled upon while I’mContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 49”
