hi jane no credit .. a clever execrcise and good reference photo used by marina in class ..we did a very similar composition with a portrait profile...glad you like it
Beautiful piece, Jane. Is this one of your cats? I have two .. a blue grey and a chocolate brown and it is amazing how their coats sometimes give off other colours.
Wonderful, Jane! amo il modo in cui lo sfondo e il gatto si fondono, eppure ancora rimangono distinti! E la scelta del monocromo é veramente raffinata... Bravissima!
Beautiful, Jane! I'll try something like this with my dogs, as you once suggested. I'm curious to see the finished watercolor
RispondiEliminaAwww, I can almost hear him purring, Jane! Nicely done.
RispondiEliminaI love this painting/study, Jane. You have achieved a finished look without fussy detail, almost by suggestion alone.
RispondiEliminaThis really is beautiful, I adore cats and this one looks very sophisticated. Cats tend to look very regal and this one is no exception!
RispondiEliminaLove your style Jane.. This cat just sticking his head into the picture...wonderful and original.
RispondiEliminaWhat a beautiful, delicate painting! I'm speechless...
