"Tabby Cat"

By Colin Bradley

This cat portrait is one of a series of eleven from our starter pack range.

Stage 3

Start the top of the head by first establishing the dark markings with 186, then infill the lighter fur with 101. Always work the colours in the direction of the fur as this will give the finished picture a more realistic look. For the darker markings apply 176 then 199 on top of 186. For the lighter areas add 184, 186 and a little 176 .

Stage 5

186 is applied on top of 184 in the eye and 176 on top of 186 in the surround and pupil. The final stage of the eye is to add a little 176 to the top half of the eye, and 199 is applied on top of 176 in the surround and pupil.

Stage 6

Apply 101 to the tip of the nose and then apply 191 on top. To this add 184 then 186 before re applying 101 to establish the lighter highlights. For the darker areas surrounding the nose apply 186, 176 then 199 on top of each other.
