The eyes of a cat are so beautiful and mysterious. I like to make the cat's eyes the focal point of the painting.I use very heavy 300# watercolor paper and I love to see what happens when I add a lot of water to the paint I have applied to the paper.
I start with the darks, add water for the mediums and leave some areas white and dry for great contrast.
I use only two colors for each cat portrait. I choose two complementary colors straight across from each other on the color wheel.
Using this technique always makes a powerful cat painting!!!
Artwork has always been my favorite activity, watercolors are my favorite medium and cats are my favorite subject.
