Slim – Trois Crayons on prepared Canson paper – half sheet, approx. 12” x 19” (30.5 x 48.3 cm)
Hello,
Drawing has become my only artistic outlet lately. I go to the local library, power up my laptop and draw from photos. This one of Slim uses the trios crayons technique taught in Robert Liberace’s class and I think it really works well with fur.
Over the next few weeks I am going to be absent from updating this blog as the craziness of my home situation has just grown. S and I will be moving soon, so I am busy preparing for that and the holiday season. When it rains it pours.

a very beautiful drawing!
Love this rendering. The crosshatching makes a great fur effect. Gorgeous cat, too!
this is stunning, to use an overused word!
Sorry about all the drilling and pounding. Good luck with the move.
Thanks GT! Once my move is finished and settled, I am considering taking commissions for other furry loved ones.
Celeste, Kerri, and Mary - Thanks for stopping by and sharing with me!
This is wonderful. I love the detail and how you captured the essence...
Hi Liz,
Beautiful work. I do hope to take a Liberace class sometime. Susie sent me your link and I'm so glad she did. I'm with her in DAR and am also an Associate at the Workhouse. Follow my link to my blog and gallery. If you're interested in painting outside, do let me know!

Welcome Bonnie, I am glad you stopped by and Yes I love painting outside, I am just not so sure about doing it in the winter ;-)
Ooo, gorgeous!
I had to do a little of that Liberace style drawing while in art school. I love the effect, but found that I personally just don't have the patience for it. Bummer. But I can enjoy yours.
Thanks Jala :) Drawing Slim in this academic way is fun, but does take a long time and sometimes i have the patience for it, and other times I do not... It really depends on my mood.
