Text of the page (random words):
r and son in law i had the framed portrait on my easel in the corner covered with a silk scarf i keep for the occasion this was several years ago and i now work upstairs but i have always kept an easel in the corner of my office downstairs the room intended to be a living room into which you enter for presentation and display of current work at the right time of day you can see right into the room so i ve always been careful when people were coming to visit their portraits that they couldn t see them before they even came into my house deville pastel 10 x 12 2005 b e kazmarski they introduced me and my household of cats and we talked about our pets while we had snacks and iced tea then i slipped into the kitchen and they took over leading their mother to the easel and letting her know the purpose of the visit pulling the scarf off the portrait so she could see shadow casey and ralph i re entered the room it was a wonderful moment to share with the three of them they were sure her mother would love a portrait of her companions and i knew if her mother was anything like the couple i had gotten to know there was no better mother s day gift not only recognizing and sharing her mother s love for her pets but also the gift the daughter had obviously inherited from her mother a loving and generous heart and compassion for people and animals detail of deville a mother s day special and father s day too did your parents pass on to you a love of animals did they decide one day you needed an animal companion of your own starting you on a lifelong path of sharing your days with cats and dogs and birds and bunnies and ferrets and any other animal that came along thank those people who gave you this gift and i m loosely defining mother and father because sometimes the person who shared their love of animals with you was an aunt or uncle or grandparent or even a neighbor who rescued cats or dogs in everyone s life is at least one special person who shared a love of animals and in that person s life there is often an animal companion who is or was very special to them i m offering 10 off the purchase of a portrait certificate or a commissioned

cat sketches cats ink and watercolor sketch of cat watercolor watercolor pencil 2 comments mimi s sunbath ink and watercolor pencil b e kazmarski mimi enjoys the warmth of the sun on her one side and the reflection of it from the cabinet on her other i really liked this as an ink sketch and almost left it with just mimi but when i had looked at mimi in this very spot i envisioned an ink drawing with watercolor washes i began the sketch on watercolor paper and so i finished it i like it just as much this has both deep shadows and bright highlights and both direct and reflected light a challenge for me in ink for sure but while mimi did move her head to face front look up at me and look behind herself she sat for long enough for me to get the light and shadow on her torso sketched in with pen then a bit of watercolor pencil scribbled on top when i begin with a new medium i often visualize in it for days as i grow accustomed to it so i m not surprised to have two sketches in a row in the same medium and style after yesterday s kelly on the windowsill i am growing accustomed to these watercolor pencils though i think i m going to allow myself a wider brush than the no 4 round to see how it dissolves and spreads the paint from my sketchy pencil lines i absolutely love drawing in ink though i m constantly disappointed in the pens i can get now the marker style they are so easy to use but i seem to wear the tip dry and need to give it a break every minute or so and i don t like to stop in the middle of a sketch to wait for the pen to resaturate i solved it here by having several pens on hand in the same sizes i have various fountain style technical pens but i don t leave ink in them and i don t think mimi would sit still while i run upstairs and fill one or two i also have dip style pen nibs and bottles of ink but that has its challenges outside of my studio i m going to find one of the fountain style drawing pens i had looked into years ago though the drawback of those is that sometimes the ink doesn t dry quickly enough to watercolor on top of right away as i do here ________________________ click here to see other daily sketches and for a gallery

animal artwork cat artwork cats daily sketch kelly senior cats tortoiseshell cats tags cat art cat sketches cats charcoal sketch ink and watercolor sketch of cat watercolor watercolor pencil 8 comments kelly on the windowsill ink and watercolor b e kazmarski kelly enjoys the sun on her back on the bathroom windowsill and also likely the reflected heat from the deck roof just below it s not all that warm but just warm enough to have the windows open in mid afternoon the pussy willow is right outside the window and the dappled leaves were charming and the blue sky beyond another combination of media that i enjoy ink and watercolor in this case i did the ink sketch first then scribbled into it with watercolor pencil the watercolor pencil is a two part technique first the drawing then the watering in this case i knew i d want to leave some of my sketching lines and in other cases i wanted to obliterate them in other cases such as the sky and the wall beneath her i wanted both and i was very pleased with what happened when i just brushed a water filled brush over my lines i could achieve a multitude of techniques this way with just random washes in the sky where i used the brush on its side but patterned washes in the shadow on the wall where i used the tip of the brush that s a white sable no 4 round students you know who you are in straight parallel lines running through the angled watercolor pencil lines in green and blue this is the first time i ve used this new set of watercolor pencils prismacolor 12 color set water soluble colored pencils the derwent set had an excellent reputation but i found them to be kind of weak in color especially the darks once i got the washes on it i had also used them for a huge illustration for a sign i just finished and had to go over and over areas in order to get them as dark as i wanted which took away from the feeling of freehand sketching in the prismacolor set the colors dissolved and blended easily though i m not sure why the dark green in the leaves did not it did where i used it in kelly s shadows i had wanted to brush the two greens together to look more random and leafy i should have done some color test swatches with the pencils before i began to be sure what shades they would end up the sky and the shadow on the windowsill behind kelly are two different shades of blue but they certainly don t look like it and kind of blend together but so far i like this set much better than the other two ________________________ click here to see other daily sketches and for a gallery of
