Jess,

:clap: Wow, he just looks so lifelike. I really like your choice of colors for the calico pattern in the oranges. His eyes are wonderful, I have to agree with cyber_holic, you just want to pet him. What kind of pastels are you using, and what paper/board did you use?

What a lovely painting of "Jade"! Thank you for honoring her in such a beautiful way. She's a sweet kitty, and I am sure she'd be pleased. Jade is a cat I used to pet sit for, and I think it was very nice of her to pose for the photo for me. :-)

Beautiful work, and thank you so much for sending me the message to let me know it has been posted.

Thankyou kate :wave:

WC has helped me so much, especially all the members, iv'e learned a lot since being here and have even sold four commissions with another five on the way.

i especially love the WIP threads, i always study them so i can learn more and pester the members who use pastels on velour like me, they always answer my questions though and are so helpful :D

Thanks again
