Description
Completed on June 5th, 2012This was just a quick little mini painting I did for fun during a friend's recent visit. I honestly hadn't touched my watercolors and gouache in far too long, so I feel dreadfully out of practice with them. Finding so many dried up tubes is also mildly disturbing and sad at once, because it's awful sending such tools of creativity to the art supply graveyard.
The cat is my awesome kitty, Opal. I love her to bits and her markings aren't quite symmetrical so she made for a fun study.
3.5 x 2.5 inches. Watercolor and gouache on watercolor paper.
Personal Art.

Thanks so much! I'm hoping I can get cracking on using my watercolors more regularly. I really enjoy them, but I don't dabble in them often enough!

Beautiful work. I have yet to send anything to the art supply graveyard, but I know I will feel terrible when I do.

I wondered when you were going to dye her teal and purple.

Hehe! Yeah I'm very, very, dreadfully VERY out of practice with watercolors and gouache and I wanted so play around with color a bit and figured she would be a nice test subject. I don't think I've drawn or painted her before! All the photos probably make up for it though. >_>
And Opal + Teals and purples is indeed a sublime combination!
