| "Sweet Kitten 2" 3.5" x 2.5" Graphite Pencils on Strathmore 500 series Bristol |
I love to draw cats and kittens. They have such uniquely expressive faces and are so entertaining. At my previous home there were many stray cats. One raised her kittens in our back yard, and I spent many happy moments watching them play. Where I live now I have only seen one cat, and that only a few times. I miss them.
I have returned, after much experimentation, to my all time favorite paper, Strathmore 500 series vellum Bristol. For the way in which I work it has the perfect texture and accepts many layers of graphite pencil. It is also quite sturdy and holds up well to repeated erasures.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I wish you a safe and relaxing weekend. :-)
What a sweet face. Nice to meet you Sherry.
