Soft Pastel Cats In the style of Laurel Burch

Everything is not about taking care of cats. Their would be little growth and rejuvenation without taking time for oneself. Alto I'm here  24/ 7 /365, and have to admit there are times when all seem overwhelming and downtrodden, I have to fit in time for arts and crafts after caring for the basic pneeds of animals and between cleaning shopping and administrative work and visits to the vets. Because  I am surrender by lots of cats all the time everything has to be modified to fit into the schema  of a multi household of cats. Anyone that knows cats understands as cats can be pretty destructive, demanding and persistent.

I've  been working on improving my knowledge of color because I feel I ruin all my sketches when I try to color them. Practicing withe pastel chalks because I love how they blend and  are easy to take out and put away for short working sessions and create surprising results. With a multi cat plus household its an absolute plus. Pastels take over and you just follow along however they lead you. They're very tactile since you work with your fingers blending. These I created from quick sketches on  pale blue construction paper outlined with colored glue and colored with pastels. All the materials were inexpensive. The flower wee painted on white drawing paper and I used  poster paints then cut them out. Wanting to stay focused with my coloring goal I just played around arranging the flowers and set then on black paper to take the pictures. Then I took pictures and critiqued my own work made changes rearranged the flowers and cats and voila I had a finished creation from my practice session. . I didn't have to start over because I ruined the background. I wonder how the pastels will behave on colored pastel paper. All ideas,technique, and coloring inspired by pins on pinerest   No expensive books or classes to attend.
