No, it’s not a new type of lolcat, it’s a genuine watercolour abstract (in shape and colour) cat.

OK it’s official, the only thing I can do in watercolour is big cats. I can do a lion, a lioness, tigers… but anything else? Nope. Oh well, could be worse I suppose. Anyway, here he is, The Lion – watercolour and ink.

I was asked if I could create a large portrait of a beautiful dog named Beau. The client wanted the portrait in just ink, but after several mock-ups the client liked the look of a two-tone portrait. To get it large enough I spanned the portrait across four canvases, laid out two by two. The resulting portrait is shown below. It is done in ink (black) and acrylic (grey) on four box canvases and measures a total of 80cm wide by 100 cm tall (31″ x 40″).

For this London Art College assignment I was given the outline of what we can see out the window, it was up to me to design the inside of the room, the window and colour the entire drawing. What you see in the painting is actually my drawing spot (and drawing board) which faces a window.

Take one old wooden frame, give it a dark under coat, dry brush with some silver acrylic, botch a mount from a piece of cardboard and paint it black, and insert creepy Crowley portrait. Voila!

Just as well I wasn’t a forger in WWII though, we’d have lost miserably…

The Scottish Wildcat (nicknamed the Highland Tiger) is bigger and more aggressive than a domesticated cat, but there are only about 400 left in the wild. This is my pastel painting (on velour paper) dedicated to the angry little buggers.
