Cats and Cookies, and Chat

By in cats, sketches, watercolour, women

Today I was painting cats and cookies. Also, I’d like you to take a glimpse at the bare bones of a new site: Jack Ruttan’s Art Chat.

New Stuff…

By in cats, men, sketches, watercolour, women

.. but somehow the same. Sigh. If anyone cares, that strange object in the upper right-hand corner is a doodle of an Italian drinking fountain I made to illustrate an anecdote to someone. Coloured it in.

A whole bunch of drawings

By in cats, men, sketches, watercolour, women

Just putting up a lot of things. I’ve been drawing them the past week, scanning. Now they’re backed up a little. So here they are, all at once.

Canson “Mix Media” (sic) Sketchbook

By in cats, watercolour, women

This kitty was painted in my book, the make of which is in the title, and about which I was complaining to another artist about because it likes to absorb and lighten dark watercolour paint. I’m too cheap to buy a better book, and frankly, haven’t found one at a reasonable price. It’s not so […]

Extreme Norosity, and other things.

By in cats, men, sketches, watercolour, women

Nora was looking cute the other night. So I painted her. Was she THIS cute? Still, pretty darn cute. More of the usual thing. A pilot woman, in front of a Battle-Star Galactica kind of thing. One of my usual sketchbook pages. Including Garlic Heads.

Painting Away the Blues

By in cats, men, paintings, ruttan's place, sketches, women

Painting and drawing stuff makes me feel better. here’s are some things from yesterday and this morning! Above is Bamako the Black Cat, whom I’m taking care of for the moment, and an Evil Skwirl. Below, some sketches from my balcony I drew with a ballpoint pen I just bought. Can’t resist trying out a […]

Kids and Cats

By in cats, sketches, watercolour, women

I was out on the weekend, and wasn’t able to post things. But today, here’s this nice page. At least, I like the mom and kid, drawn from life.

Cats and Dogs

By in cats, dogs, sketches, watercolour

I’ve scanned a lot of pictures I’ve been painting the last while, and am going to put them up on the blog step by step, maybe. That’s so I can post stuff every day! Or, I might put them up all at once. Who knows?

Today’s Page

By in cats, paintings, sketches, watercolour, women

It’s awkward scanning things out of a ring-bound sketchbook. Pages are all “cockled” when it’s watercolour, and you can never get it to line up on the scanner. I also had to scan this page twice and “stitch” together, which also was a pain. Not to mention fixing that tree, which had a lot of […]

Pushing Ahead

By in cats, dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, women

After not posting much, for a while, I’ve been doing a flurry of painting. Seems I need to go through a number of indifferent things to “ramp up” to something better. Anyhow, I’m happier with what’s going on here. Painting lots of cats for this cat strip I’m trying to finish. Wish it felt easier, […]

Scary Cats

By in cats, sketches, watercolour

Some fairly scary watercolour cats I did, based loosely on creatures I saw over the weekend. They often look a little deranged to me, but maybe that’s what I see!

Back After a Bit

By in cats, men, paintings, watercolour, women

Didn’t blog for a while. Cause I was sick, and busy, then wasn’t doing much that pleased me. Still could be happier, but at least I’m painting some things. Not horribly thrilled with how the paper’s working. Maybe it’s always absorbed and lightened paint, but I thought that was how it worked, until I painted […]
