Never work with Animals?



Smudge the kitten, 2010
Watercolour, sketchbook



Smudge the cat, 2011
2B pencil


I'd brought paints to Wales in the hope of working. But its rained - practically the whole time. So I've been trying to sketch the house cat here. But he's not co-operating and languidly changes position each time I try to capture his image. How did Gwen John ever do her wonderful cat studies? Here are my attempts so far.
