Rat-a-tat-cat!

I’m convinced our outdoor cat thinks the cat flap is a door knocker! When he wants to come in he rattles it (it’s locked to keep our indoor cats in and other cats, that roam the garden, out).

Tonight I was washing up and rattle – bang-rattle-tap, tap, tap! I didn’t open the door straight away so the cat flap did another bang and crash…

Then, outdoor cat scoots in, eats two pouches of food, some cat milk, some cat treats, then the emploring look ‘can I go out again?’ no doubt he will be back later….

Put your paw out, say hello….

Come and get warm

Please don’t go

Cats are friendly

When you know

How to love them

Snuggling so.

Outdoor cat update

He sleeps on the bed

I get up to let him out

I get up to let him in

I have to move my legs

To give him room

I get up to feed him

I love him

How did that happen?!

She balances on the sink

Waiting for a love

Looking beautiful

What a face

How can I resist?

But she’s ready to pounce

Her brother is on the floor

Clash of the cats

Tripping me up!

Learning to illustrate means playing with different techniques. Both of these are black ink. One is just using a black calligraphy pen and the other a fine liner pen and a calligraphy pen. The top is called ‘what’s for tea?’ and the second is a tiny ‘cat teapot’.

Cats paws

Muddy feet

Climb up high

Then go to sleep!

Cheeky face

Whiskers, ears

Looking down

Gives me cheers.

Tidy cat

Fun and bounce

If not happy

Prone to flounce!

A couple of watercolours I’ve done over the last two days after watching a talk about using them. I wish I had stretched the paper as it curled because of the amount of water I used. The first is called ‘Why don’t cats keep still?’, basically it’s my boy cat washing, but he was constantly moving, the second is ‘lamp’. It’s the view of the back of our living room with a standard lamp and dream catcher with reflections. I used Arteza metallic watercolours and Windsor and Newton Watercolours to paint these sketches.

I’ve drawn a cat on a window ledge in front of a net curtain, its black and white and drawn with Autodesk Sketcher app and ArtRage app. But when I’ve tried to change the image size wordpress is saying media not found, so this image may not show up on the post… I’m publishing it these what happens…

Another black and white cat?

If you do a line drawing of your cat and you want to fill it in with colour, you don’t have to use black. I’ve used green and red as complementary colours. It’s a very quick sketch and it’s meant to capture the cat without over working it. I think even a little experiment like this can send you off in a new direction.

Sat on the fridge

Looking cheeky

Eye on the seahorse

Ready to strike

Or will he disturb

My fridge magnet haven?

Paw at the ready

Beady eye squinting

Ready to pounce

So funny

So daft!
