Cat 4

Cat 4.
Acrylic on canvas paper, 12" x 16".


I tried this painting again, using a more limited color palette and giving more thought to the laying out the initial drawing.
I clearly need to slow down and pay more attention to the basics before rushing in to play with the colors.

I like the more volumetric treatment of the cat, giving it some curves and sensuality. I overused the white and would have had a better result using more tone and restricting the white to smaller areas. I could have done more with the light hitting the stuffed chair for more interest and light source consistency.
