Morning Faces, and More
By Jack Ruttan in cats, color, Nora the cat, sketches, watercolour, womenSometimes I don’t trust the scanner to catch all the little subtleties in light watercolour tones. The colours on the palette look like little abstract comic panels.

Pair o’ Cats
By Jack Ruttan in cats, color, paintings, watercolourI’m calling this a “warm-up,” since I’m really working on a much bigger job. Still, this taught me some things, and finishing it freed up a watercolour board.
