| For Sally, I painted a scrumbly background of aureolin, burnt orange and warm black, letting each color dry before applying the next. I also tried a new technique with her neck fur - I feathered it in. I drew in a line of black, then used a barely-moist medium-sized flat to spread the color. I think it gave a lovely soft effect. Definitely using this on the next commission [ a Schnauzer by the name of Louis]. |

| Same technique here, trying to go with a background that would draw the viewer's eyes to the cat's eyes. Here I used burnt orange, followed by orange mixed with violet. |

| Soft scrambling again, with quin. gold mixed with indanthrone - to match her eyes. Thank you so much for dropping by! |
They all have such great personalities already and you've picked perfect colors to go with them :). Are they all separate paintings or one large painting with all the kitties there?
ReplyDeleteWow! We surely did notice the kitties beautiful eyes in all 3 paintings!
ReplyDeleteLove the backgrounds!!! (How is your foot?)
ReplyDeleteWow! These are all outstanding Kathryn!
ReplyDeleteOh Kathryn... They are just beautiful! Such sweet expressions on each and I absolutely love the backgrounds.. I have always found cats to be very difficult to paint, so I really appreciate your execution on all three. They are so realistic. Bravo!
