One Hundred Cats, first 30

After drawing one hundred hands, one hundred horses, thought I'd work on some cats! Working on that many sketches makes you familiar with the subject. These were from a childrens book about cats, it was great to see the skeleton!

Siamese nice pose, I should develope this into something more than a quick sketch!

EDM #185 Draw a Cat, (its a litter)

My friend Judy's cat had look alike kittens, it hard to tell who was who in the kitty pile. Ballpoint pen on newsprint, I shoud redo it on better paper in pencil.

Horses, a hundred or so! Olympic inspired

I found a way to watch the olympic equestrian events online, the first time I was ever able to see as much of it as I wanted to. I find it thrilling. So began a huge herd of tiny pen horse sketches!   just counted the little sketches and that is about the number of horses I was taking care od at one time in the past!  Just to go through that size herd and look at and assess every pair of eyes, all eour legs, look at each one from head to toe and take care of all thier needs...... geeeze.... good thing I was young!

They evolved into these Winsor Newton ink painted horses, one elephant and one giraffe.

Quick gold sketches evolved into these:

Step 1, pick most defining lines from light pencil sketch draw with pilot gold marker

2 Add Shiva irridescent paintskik

3 Add gold colored pencil

Cactus Tuesday

5" x 7" watercolor on Winsor Newton hot press in my new fold up sketchbook. It took all four of these to get one that had a more loose feel to it... may have to do with becoming familiar with the subject.

5" x 7" Watercolor on Winsor Newton hot press I made a new fold up sketch book to experiment with the hot press paper.

Watercolor in 11" x 14" Raffine Sketch book 100 lb.paper


Quick soft graphite sketch on packaging paper.

EDM #179 Draw an Onion

I had no art materials... just a hard dull pencil and pen. Onions were right in front of me and I remembered it was a new EDM topic. 3' x 4's

Ball point pen shaded, sepia added and warmified in Picassa.

Cactus Monday

I have lots of this type of cactus. They have small cati grow around the base of the plant and have a tall red orange bloom. It may be considered a succulent? Watercolor in raffine sketchbook 5 x 7"

Cactus Monday

When Margaret Storer-Rochehttp://waterblossoms.blogspot.com/2008/06/queen-of-night.html Posted her Queen of the Night Blooming Cereus. I knew why I had not seen the bloom on the cactus I drew last week! The prevoius week I drew the cati from memory. When I drove by it must have been early AM or late in the evening. So here is the bud I'm happy I got to see the Bloom on Margaret's post!
