  • Hi everyone, today I'm sharing with you a relaxing day retreating at home, sketching some items in my kitchen, and my kitty Dudu.
    🎹 Materials I used:
    - Sailor's fude fountain pen
    - Noodler's Brown 41 Ink (to fill the fountain pen)
    - Mungyo watercolors
    - Etchr Mix-Media A4 size Landscape Sketchbook
    - Holbein Water Brush (large tip)
    - Holbein water brush (medium tip)
    🎹 I'm teaching online classes every week. Check them out the newest 2024 classes in my Ko-Fi Shop:

    Every day is a good day to make art. We don't need fancy subjects, but we need to pay attention to the beauty in the mundane.

    As a new subscriber I have already learned a lot from you, 😊 I have never liked the idea of “still life” feeling it too be a bit boring and “lifeless”. But your style is amazing; I can’t wIt to see what is hiding away in the kitchen so that I can try your technique. It’s going to help me a lot as I am housebound so cannot sketch or take photos outdoors. You have demonstrated that anything can be interesting in the right hands. Thank you for sharing❀
    I get the gist of what happened to little Dudu and really feel for you. We love them so much it is heartbreaking when something bad happens. So glad he is on the mend. You showed a lot of love in your little sketch of him.

    I'm sure the raccoons hurt Dudu. I had the same trouble in then north cascades and my vet said it's common for raccoons to attack cats. If an owl or predator bird got ahold of Dudu he would be dead and his fur laying all over the ground. I had an owl kill my other cat and that's how it went down. They never lose their prey, but the raccoons were probably defending their babies in the cherry tree! You have the sweetest, little cat with the best name I'v ever heard of for a cat! Once again you draw the best, unique objects. I love watching you draw so effortlessly. You are so talented.

    Hi Becky. Great lesson. Thankyou. I'm curious what you think happened to Dudu. If the raccoons attacked him or if something attacked him and the raccoons. It sounds like big dogs attacked him. Very sad. I'm so glad he survived whatever it was. I know how much you love him. ❀

    ...also predator birds like Owls and Eagles have been known to pick up cats in their talons and when the cat twists and claws the bird, it will drop it causing all sorts of damage. I guess we will never know. 😱 but he is getting better and that is what counts. 😊

    Hello, I looked up Noodler's ink you list in your supplies for this video and they say "Noodlers ink designed for use in fountain pens for writing and not for watercolour washes. The top layer of the ink will be removed if you try to smudge it with a wet finger or a wet brush." What's your experience as I have Sailor's fountain pen and would love to draw with it too. Many thanks for such a fun demonstration of joy from the ordinary. 💓
