White cat in Dubrovnik (semi WIP)
Hi you all, after a very long time I have started a new and quite big piece.
It's from our summer hollidays when we visited the city Dubrovnik in Croatia.
On one of the very nice streets I took a photo of this cat http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/images/smilies/cat0.gif
 . Now I'm trying to paint it. This is just a beginning, I'm trying to get on the paper the main colors. C&C are more than welcomed.
Just one more thing: I deliberately changed the face of the cat. The original looked to me a little bit "frightening".
It's 45x60cm (17"x23") different types of CP.
Lenka

What a nice picture Lanka, Looking good so far. I see what you mean by the cat in the ref looking a little frightening. This is going to be good.

Ok this is todays update. The step stones will be challenging... 
It's already dark here and I can't see the color allright, so I will continue tomorrow morning.

Re: White cat in Dubrovnik (semi WIP)
One question- what color is the paper you are working on? Is it buff colored? The photos are somewhat dim, on my monitor, and I want to be sure I'm reading the color you have going right.
The update is beautiful, by the way.

Re: White cat in Dubrovnik (semi WIP)
Anne, joysetc: thank you
Marci: yes, the paper is buff colored, and the only part worked to more detail is the middle back. And also I took the picture with artificial light, which didn't help. Next time I'll try to make a better picture.
