You’re too hard on yourself Margaret. Great pose and spontaneity.

Lovely painting. Keep up the good work.

This is smashing Margaret, as Carole said you are too hard on yourself. I really like this.

What a fabulous puss cat, yes you are too hard on yourself.

Love his ears and he is full of character, well done , Margaret. :)

Thank you for your encouragement:) Unfortunately, it is not a flattering painting of the actual cat - and it looks better online!

Lovely painting Margaret

Love this Margaret. Perfect marks in just the right places 👍🏻

Really cute and nice values!

Thank you Rachel and Guy :)

I like your cat, it looks very thoughtful.

Thank you Dennis and Sandra :)

Nothing at all wrong with this Margaret, in fact, it’s more than a sketch.

A beautiful loose way of painting, Margaret. Keep on going!

Thank you Fiona :) Yes - I didn't want to commit myself to a painting every day - so calling it sketching/painting! A lot of the time it will be quick sketches but sometimes it will be a proper painting. This started as a quick brush sketch but because I messed it up, I had to wait for the (very wet) paint to dry to add some qouache then more paint. Thank you Mia :) - I'm trying to do more "drawing with a brush" paintings rather than drawing in any details first - mixed results!

A lovely monochrome painting Margaret.

This is really lovely, Margaret - I really love the immediacy of this piece. There's a lot of vitality and expressiveness to this piece.

This cat looks super, lovely pose and gaze, nice loose style Margaret, its form looks great!

Well done Margaret. I think that he is fab!

Very well "captured". Certainly has character !.

Day 5 of my sketching/painting a day. Tried to do a painting of a friend's cat sitting on stairs - from one of my photos - 3 attempts - none of them all that great. A toss up between posting this one or one done solely in pen. Watercolour and white goauche on CP paper 12 x 9".

About the Artist
Margaret Nisbet

I'm an amateur artist. I have drawn all my life - used to be mainly portraits but now a wider range. Did a lot of portrait/figure drawing at classes for a while in the 1990s then had a break from doing much at all until a couple of years ago, since when I've gone back to classes and workshops run…
