Daily Sketch: Resting

Mewsette takes a resting crouch at the corner of my table.

I read an artist’s newsletter earlier today that showed sketches in this style: mid-range paper, darkest areas in black and highlights in white, enough outlines to define, then stop. I just needed to wait for a cat to settle long enough in a post that would accommodate. Mewsette obliged.

  • This sketch is particularly beguiling! You know Bernadette, I have looked around your shop and decided several times to buy some items, but then just could not decide on what as they are all so attractive to me! I would end up with a container I reckon. But I do want to order. I know you said you ship to UK, but it does need to be enough to make it worth while, right?

    • Carolyn, you ended up in my spam folder. Apparently we were all having some difficulties beginning this past weekend! I do ship to the UK, and before Christmas shipped two prints envelopes as international letters to Australia and Wick, Scotland for $16.95. They didn’t have extra insurance or tracking, but I’ve never really had a problem–for a print I wouldn’t worry, only an original. Packages really aren’t too much more. Just let me know what you’d like and if the shipping can be less I’ll let you know and refund. Thanks!

    • Susan, thank you so much! Mewsette moved her head and paws a bit much and I overworked it for this style, but I love her back end. I think we may see more of this!
