I'm using watercolour paper, and to start with I did a background using diluted acrylic inks, as I didn't want the background to move again.
I then drew the outline and built up the colours with watercolour paint. I photographed the kittens on their play equipment, but I decided not to include all of it in the painting.
For the detail I used a combination of wax pastels, watercolour pencils, and pen.
Introducing brother and sister Ziggy and Socks.
I met some friends for breakfast the other morning, and unusually for me I decided to try something completely different! I'm quite boring when it comes to food. Now, I don't normally write about food, but this was so unusual for me that I wanted to mark the event!!!
I had the American breakfast, which included pancakes and maple syrup, and I rather liked it! Particularly the mix of syrup with the bacon and sausage! Another of our party decided to try the vegetarian version, but he ate the savoury bits first and then the pancakes and syrup!
We're meeting again in November, so I may try something else ...
Postscript - as suggested by Bluebeard and Elizabeth (see comment below), I'm joining the T Stands for Tuesday (see here). Never joined in before but I always enjoy reading about their foodie exploits!
Kay, your painting is out of this world. Those kittens are so adorable and you caught their look perfectly. They sure are sweet, indeed.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I knew you also meant the meal, too, which is something we in the states often eat. Since you showed your breakfast, which includes your drink, I would LOVE to have you join us for T Stands For Tuesday later today. It would also expose others to your incredible art and great artistic ability.
Oh Kay, thank you for sharing this with us for T this Tuesday. We are so delighted you decided to join us and look forward to seeing more of your art (which you KNOW I will, anyway).

Your painting is absolutely wonderful! It's great to see you here with that delicious looking breakfast (although too much sugar I fear for me!) Happy T day, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning painting! love the realistic look that you have achieved. I miss painting in watercolor. You have inspired me. And your American breakfast makes me hungry just looking at it...
