| The model |
 |
| This was my second attempt. I just flipped the paper over, and re-traced the outline, hence the reversed image. For some reason, I had to start with the striping. |
 |
| First washes for the eyes [aureolin, quin. burnt orange and cobalt blue] and the nose [quin. burnt orange and quin. rose]. |
 |
| A wet-in-wet wash over the face - orange and pink for the eye areas and lower portion of the face, and a grey made with aureolin, pink and cobalt blue for the rest. |
 |
| Some dry brush on the stripes |
 |
| Another few glazes on the eyes - quin. gold, burnt orange and cobalt and indanthrone blue. |
 |
| Yay ... ears! |
 |
| Some final fussy details with dry brush, and this is done as a color study. Overall, I like the colors, and the nose and eyes. I think, for the final version, I will do the striping differently [but NOT hair by hair!] Thank you so much for dropping by! |
Beautiful job☺

ReplyDeleteI love the emergence of cuddly cat from a few black 'smudges'. Great eyes btw!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your cats Kathryn... although I'm not so keen in real life! I'm a doggie person - but your paintings are gorgeous!! :0)
