I'd say SHE knows what to use to paint a black cat. I think I will have abandon cats (painting them of course, you understand). There are too many of you doing such a wonderful job.Katherine Harrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926173580990033616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37200829.post-69902633293293311112014-04-23T09:27:25.689-07:002014-04-23T09:27:25.689-07:00Thanks, Skyline. :)Thanks, Skyline. :)Billie Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336330932102277633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37200829.post-65894587528067723032014-04-23T07:02:03.523-07:002014-04-23T07:02:03.523-07:00pretty nice blog, following :)pretty nice blog, following :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37200829.post-90904408867346668582014-04-13T19:12:50.766-07:002014-04-13T19:12:50.766-07:00Thanks for your comments, Katherine. :) Raven is t...Thanks for your comments, Katherine. :) Raven is the first completely black cat <i>I've</i> tried to paint and I was a little hesitant as to which direction to go with this. Black is the most difficult 'color' to recreate with paint, isn't it? If you love cats, check out the work of Rachel Parker, especially some of her older pieces. I love her cats paintings.Billie Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336330932102277633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37200829.post-43401397664234466902014-04-13T16:59:56.948-07:002014-04-13T16:59:56.948-07:00No question that this reads as a (beautiful) black...No question that this reads as a (beautiful) black cat. I speak from experience. Not of painting mine, I've not yet attempted that (I'm taking notes here!). But of knowing and loving black cats best of all. Raven looks wonderful here. Maybe I'm still not ready to try. Color aside, my cat drawings are so rarely up to snuff. This looks great!Katherine Harrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926173580990033616noreply@blogger.com
