Here’s my latest painting I thought I would share:
Its the largest watercolor I’ve painted to date (11×14) and its a portrait of a friend’s cat 🙂
I freaked out when I saw this on your FB, this is just so amazing daydreamer! I LOVE how you painted the wings!

I have pricing for my stock sizes on my site here: http://www.faeriecat.com/cat-portrait-gallery/ But I can give you a price on a custom size if there’s something else you had in mind, just let me know 🙂
Awe! Pretty kitty. I love it 😀 . I also really like the texture of the background. I’m curious, how is that effect accomplished?

magic salt. 😀 haha. i wet the entire part that i want to have the effect with clean water. then i add in wet color randomly and while its still very wet, i sprinkle coarsely ground sea salt onto it. let it dry. then brush away the dried salt. pretty simple. sometimes i go back in with a darker color and add depth to the pattern that the salt made. you can use regular table salt, but that gives it more of a uniform effect since the grains are all the same size.
Hmm…
Sea salt you say ? I may have to give that technique a try when I’m doing watercolors again. Thanks, Daydreamer 😀 !daydreamer wrote:purpleturtle wrote:Awe! Pretty kitty. I love it 😀 . I also really like the texture of the background. I’m curious, how is that effect accomplished?

OMG Daydreamer – your art is SO awesome!! I love your watercolor paintings and I’m really tempted to get something from your etsy store 🙂 Also, you’ve made me want to try sculpting! I love your green kitty 🙂
