These three were a bit of a handful, and I still can’t believe I managed to squeeze all three onto an A4. They were a commission which I struggled with, the thing is when there is more than one kitty to go wrong, it means throwing the whole piece away, and that weighed pretty heavily on me.
Two of the cats were also mostly black, so I had an interesting colour challenge on my hands. There was no way I was painting two completely black cats … not when the commissioner said she “liked colour”.
Somehow though, all three pulled through - I even introduced chunky textural pastels into the mix as you know, the painting wasn’t chaotic enough!
If you’re interested in their names, Ms Green is Slinky, Mr Yellow is Pudding and Ms Purple is Kushkat! Lovingly painted in watercolour, Brusho, ink and pastels.
