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”
More Triples.
I did a bit more work on my 5 paintings, each of 3 women or girls. The idea came originally from the triple goddess of Celtic mythology, with a modern female gaze from me. I’m enjoying working on 5 paintings at once, I’ve never approached my work in this way before. I’m using Somerset paper (300 gsm, 56 xContinue reading “More Triples.”
The Triples Again.
I did a bit more work on my 5 paintings, each of 3 women or girls. The idea came originally from the triple goddess of Celtic mythology, but I don’t want to get too bogged down in legend, I want to create a modern and personal response to the ancient imagery and stories I grewContinue reading “The Triples Again.”
Paintings And Rug.
I started painting onto some Somerset paper (300 gsm) with Liquitex Heavy Body acrylic. I’m not using any preliminary drawings, I have a vague idea of what I want and I’m going to see what the paint and the brush do. This lovely blue is the first stage. I left the large sheets to dryContinue reading “Paintings And Rug.”
Ready To Slap It On!
What am I up to? I’m pushing right out of my comfort zone, that’s what! This is the beginning of something very new. I hope it works. I’ve mixed up some Liquitex Heavy Body acrylic paint – Titanium White with 2 Pthalo Blues – red hue and green hue. And I’m going to slap itContinue reading “Ready To Slap It On!”
Unplanned Scraping.
I carried on with the nocturne painting by scraping on some pinks with a palette knife. It wasn’t planned, I had some Titanium White, Medium Magenta and Dioxazine Violet left over from another painting and as always, “waste not, want not”. I’m not sure if the colour will make it though to the final pieceContinue reading “Unplanned Scraping.”
Scraping It On.
I’ve started applying the paint to one of my new paintings. On top of the orange ground, I’ve scraped on a few areas of Titanium White, with a palette knife, which will be the highlights. It’s going to be another nocturne.
Cat Among The Tulips: 6
I think I’m not too far away from the finish line with Sparta Puss’ portrait with tulips. Today I blended the highlight colours in her fur with Yellow Ochre, Burnt Umber and Raw Umber, all transparent. I used Dioxadine Purple and Titanium White to do more work on the chocolate tin and tulips, and UnbleachedContinue reading “Cat Among The Tulips: 6”
