Practice Makes Purr-fect


20 min prep sketch in journal - Ink & watercolour

This is a quick preparation sketch from a photograph I did on Tuesday for a piece I am starting work on today...If I ever get away from the laundry and into the studio!

Where does it all come from and where do the socks go???

a great prep sketch Anita, it can almsot stand as a painting on its own! So much feline attitude in those eyes!

If this is prep work I can hardly wait to see the finished painting. This is great on its own merits.

I love animal sketches, my cat Zeke is all black and hard to sketch!

Pefect sketch, Anita! I love those focused eyes!!

Anita Davies said...

Thank you!

Sandy I admit I was hoping that the cat would NOT be a black cat...nightmare to see in life and in photographs!

Alan, I only hope I can pull off the finished painting now. It's going well....so far! Not had much practice with cats, infact I've painted just 3...Two sketches in pen and wash (including this one) and a finished piece in coloured pencil.
