The key word here is painting, I just let loose and did exactly that, very little sketching at all. My brush moved quickly with lots of energy...end result very fluffy kitten.
I started this cat and originally was going to wipe it. I decided to push through and am pleased that I did. I usually use a more softened colour for my background but decided to throw caution to the wind...love the turquoise/blue against the golds and yellows.
