Love the eyes, I am still a bit leary trying white🙃
Thank you! In this case, I left the white of the paper because I was using traditional watercolor. I also did some color lifting along the edges to get that fluffy puffball look that kittens have.
Great technique, he does look fluffy, cute!
A thousand thanks!
Sandra, thanks for the tip
My pleasure!
Beautiful!
Thank you, Zertab!
Beautiful, Sandra. Our cats only seem to be active between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m. 🙂
Thank you, Mary! Cats are crepuscular so they like the night-time. I say this mainly because it’s a rare occasion when I get to use the word crepuscular!
Lovely
Many thanks, Manoj!
That’s brilliant, Sandra. I see what you mean about softening the edges.
Thank you, Gary! I use the color-lifting a lot for fur. It depends on what paper I’m using because it works better on some than on others.
Gorgeous kitty Sandra !
Thank you, Fatima!

Thank you, Pat, and I’m glad you liked the tip!

Love the blue eyes! I didn’t know how much kittens and cats slept, except it seems my cat sleeps all the time!
Thank you, Lori! It is funny how most animals follow the rule of conservation of energy, while we humans have to look for ways to use it, lol.
