Caturday Art Canvas

The art we have to show you all today is different than our usual. No, this here human did not learn how to do digital art. Honestly, the best I can do is crop a photo and add some words in Paint. Yes, friends, I have to use the Paint program because I have no other skills with digital art.

Anyway, speaking of paint, that has a lot to do with our art for today.

I've mentioned on here before that I am by no means, at all, a painter. I love to doodle and draw, but I cannot paint. That's probably why I was a tad bit concerned when my cousin invited me to her bachelorette painting party. Not that I'm complaining about her style of party, though. I'm not the wild and crazy type, so painting beat the other bachelorette party options.

Anyway, long story short, I actually had a great time at my cousin's paint party. The above art is indeed what I painted that day. To make the endeavor of using a paintbrush on canvas a bit easier for non-painter me, I went in knowing that I was just going to paint a redo of one of my drawings. Perhaps some of you recognize this painting as being incredibly similar to some of my drawings, because it is just that.

So, painting was fun, but I think I will stick to my markers and sketchbook from here on out. They're far less stressful, at least to me. That, and cleaning up after a painting session is a bit of a drag.

We're entering this painting into none other than Athena's Caturday Art blog hop.

Do be sure to visit Athena so that you can see the art that all of our friends have created!

Happy Caturday!

Our Tip of the Day:

We're certain we've mentioned this before, but today seems like a good day to repeat ourselves. Always be cautious when using paints and other similar products, such as varnish and the like, around your furbaby, as these products can be potentially toxic. Some paints contain components such as heavy metals and volatile compounds, and they can emit dangerous gases that could lead to irritation of the respiratory tract and symptoms such as dizziness. This can progress to dangerous situations, especially if exposure to paint and its fumes is unventilated and prolonged. Such dangers can exist for both furbabies and humans. If you are looking to paint, do consider researching the safest options possible, and the safest methods. Look into using paints labeled as pet-safe. Additionally, if and however possible, try to keep your furbaby away from areas where painting is occurring. What do we always say? It's better to be safe than sorry!
