Midge Half Asleep

9x12 Brusho watermedia on Canson 140 lb cold press of my rescue kitty Midget. I used the complimentary set of 12 colors Dick Blick sent to the moderators who do watercolor as a thank you for working on WetCanvas. I sketched kitty in pencil then lightly spritzed with fine mist water sprayer and shook out the black pot of Brusho, transparent ink powdered crystals. This was fun. Lots of youtube videos are out there and take a look at Ward Jene Stroud's website, the king of Brusho, which is amazing to see. Brusho is made in the UK and has been in Europe for 40 years but only recently been used and learned here in the US. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith.

Winter Nap kitty

6x6 watercolor and Micron 01 pen sketch on Masters paper of kitty Chester taking his winter nap.  Of course we had sunny skies and almost 70 F. today, so this outside frosty glow is just imaginary.  Below is my initial sketch.  Images are COPYRIGHT 2014 Kay Smith.
