Cat Among The Tulips: 2.

Carrying on painting the cat sitting in front of a vase of tulips.

I have had a nasty cold the past few days and I wanted to do something to occupy myself that was fun so I decided to paint Sparta Puss from a photo where she’s posing in front of some beautiful tulips. I started with the canvas I recently covered in an opaque Magenta ground (here).Continue reading “Cat Among The Tulips: 1.”

I’m starting a new painting so the first thing to do is to prepare it by getting rid of the intimidating white that’s on a fresh new canvas.
