Contour Line Cat

8x8 watercolor using Rosa paints on Grumbacher 140 lb cold press paper done last week after studying contour and blind contour line art in my class. Lots of fun. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2024

Monet's Cat

4.25x5.75 mixed media on magazine card done today in 20 minutes. Drawn with black Tombow brush pen, I used colored markers in spots, then watercolor colored pencils, and broad chisel tip black marker for the bg. Then added water to the cat's body to blend wc CPs.  Its bowtie was left the white of the paper as was the ball fringe around the cushion.

Feline Groovy

12x9 watercolor on Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper, Daniel Smith paints.  After doing a loose splashy underpainting I let the soft pastel hues dry, then drew over that an outline of my grey tabby Chuy.  The abstract underpainting can be seen within the cat's body while in front he nestles against colorful patterned pillows.

Magic Garden Kitty

11x15 watercolor of Kathy's (from WetCanvas) black cat Juliet. I changed the background to be that of a magic garden atmosphere in which she is dreaming of her Romeo.
