I carried on with the painting of Sparta Puss, adding some more layers of translucent Liquitex Heavy Body acrylics. I played with the brushstrokes on the cat’s fur, using paint straight from the tube on a dry brush and making them choppy to look more furry.
I added Dioxazine Purple for the tin of chocolates and to pick out some of the shadows (left), a wash of Van Dyke Red on the cat and table (centre), and translucent Burnt Umber on the cat and tin, along with opaque Bright Aqua Green on the leaves and stems (right). It’s coming along ….
