The painting is coming along nicely so far,although as its the largest oil ive attempted so far it's taking me a while to get used to the larger brushes i'm using for this one.I'm still experimenting a little with the colours and trying to pick up on the subtle red/browns that show up in the fur where light passes through.i particularly enjoyed painting the eyes in one session,i think i'm happy with them as is and cant see a need for further work as yet but the nose is a different story,this will definitely need a deal of refinement.looking forward to moving onto the cats face and introducing a little more fur detail.Sunday, 15 January 2012

Beautiful work so far, great color varitions thru that fur, seems a bit like the real thing. Love your work. Struggleing with oils myself---
thankyou very much Ida,i'm really enjoying the colour mixing challenges with this one as its the first 'black' animal ive attempted in oils.its only when attempting to paint it that i realised just how many colours there are within the fur.
Nossa,que pinturas lindas.Parecem fotografias.Adorei teu blog,Parabéns e um grande abraço.
