  • Cat Portrait : Kona WIP #2

    October

    2008

    Just finished Kona’s underpainting! So good to be out in the studio again.

    I’ve kept my palette to a minimum, using just 8 colors. Indigo, sap green, burnt umber for my darkest darks, magenta, ochre, winsor yellow and cadmium orange for Kona’s coat, and white. Oh, yes, and I pulled in just a smidge of french ultramarine for her multi-striped collar.

    I’ll apply several coats of fur once the underpainting is dry and also glossy up her eyes and nose. She’ll be just beautiful when she’s all done!

    :clapping: Kona looks beautiful! I can’t wait to see the addition of the fur layers!

    I think the hues are perfect and I love the extra touch of color on her collar.

    These paintings have been such fun. I’ll be sad when you’re finished with Taysia.

    Okay, first, I’m really bummed that your site no longer remembers me. And second, I really like the portrait!

    I showed my friend your site today and when I left her house, she was digging around, looking at your paintings and photography and everything.

    Wee! I’m remembered again!

    By the way, I wanted to tell you how much I love that you kept the little gleam in Kona’s eye. That’s what makes the portrait so intriguing.
