A Cat in a Garden

4 Comments
Bear one of our feral cats. i actually drew him with the Noodler first but forgot to take a pic.
Since I have all this paint leftover from pouring i decided to use it. Made Black w mostly indigo and some raw sienna and cad red. I maybe using these colors for quite a while. Still plenty of paint.
I used a dip pen w masking fluid to do his whiskers. works great. Painted the background.
Then i drew all the leaves in. Margaret who had been up since 5 am and is ready for bed. Xoxoxoxo

Ready for a break!!

Sketching in my strathmore mixed media. For some reason my ink did not dry. When i wet it w paint it smeared. Grrrr. Makes me want to toss the pens and the ink. Should not be doing that. Bytw red pen on bottom is straight. The bend in the fold makes it look like its not.
Drawing what i saw. Sometimes its quite a challenge to draw whats in front of you.
Sketch before i hit it with the watercolor
Raw Sienna background color. Annoying smears.
Telling the story. I actually journaled abt my busy day. Bytw i can get off the floor again easily since i have turned into a cleaning fool. I added the red pen because it needed something there. I drew it with the pen on the right.

Margaret done for the night! xoxoxox
