Rainy Day Birds

5.5x8.5 mixed media on Master's Touch sketchbook 80 lb paper done today. For these imaginary birds I used Micron 01 pen to sketch, then added Koh-I-Noor multilead colored pencils. White wax crayon used to indicate snow. Black Brusho wc crystals by ColourCraft (UK) for the dark feathers then Rosa Gallery/Ukraine burnt sienna watercolors for tan/brown. Lastly for the shadows and background Daniel Smith's Moonglow was used loose and wet. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2024

Sweetheart of a Cat - 1st Zentangle WIP

6x8.5 ink on blue tinted Color Sketch paper done today of a cat, my first zentangle attempt.  She is modeled after my stray rescue Taco Belle, a Maine coon.  Her beard is patterned zentangle as is the heart at the top of her head.  With this work in progress, tomorrow will add watercolor for her fur, keeping the patterns as is.  Pen used was Pigma Micron 01 by Sakura.
