This is the photo I am going to paint.
Have so many things I want to paint but another cat portrait won out. Here is a sleepy Mia. I worked on penciling her in, did a bit of ink work but thought I had better Mask her whiskers before I went any farther. Is hard letting the masking dry before I start on the painting again but I will this morning.
The lighting wasn't good for taking pictures but I tried any way. Just started the first part of the background color, is a combo of ink and watercolor and the paper was wetted first and the colors allowed to blend on their own. I will need at least two more layers of color before I have the depth the way I want.
Where I create and the wonderful view of the Hay field and Woodlands beyond.
I have been working on this wild and bright colored Abstract for the last week. It is a digital painting, done in Easter colors.
This years Holiday painting is finally finished. Mediums I used are, Pen & Ink, Ink and Watercolor pencil washes, painted on Fabriano Artistico Bright White 140lb Hot press watercolor paper.
Nearly finished with the painting,, just a few more hours to go. Decided not to do the rug..felt it would make the painting too busy but have added some highlights to anchor the kitten. Am not 100% happy with the gift boxes but then I had best learn how to wrap the packages a bit more straight.
