cat drawing

My little one is sleeping next to me, so I grabbed the opportunity for a drawing. Just need to keep the Blue Lake watercolour paper within arms reach at all times!

Ancient Cats

We met this cat at the Louvre and it looked so much like our beloved Betty (she now resides permanently in the garden, non-mummified but peaceful). They really had cats down, those Egyptians. So poised and compact!

After the well-defined lines and musculature on horses, I find cats can be very challenging. They are very clearly and symmetrically structured, but it is partly hidden under fur. Siamese and other short hairs are a little easier. Another challenge with cats is to capture their often quirky characters, while keeping a sense of their elegance and presence.

A cat painted very quickly in pigmented ink (Liquid Spectrum). Cats are always challenging

- I think it's the wonderful and particular symmetry of their faces.
