Thank you, girl! He DOES have a wonderful face--one of these days I'll really capture it on paper...

I LOVE THIS. I think you might have to revise your opinion of the Fabriano again if you keep getting these results. A little less control, but more... BREATHTAKING. Which of your DVD's would be host helpful for me to learn to paint MY cat (who, regrettably, is much darker and therefore has less opportunity for contrast, than yours)?

Well, at least I don't hate it as unreservedly! I still loved the wonderful texture and receptivity of the original, MUCH more, but granted I liked this.

Actually they're CDs with PDF files--I WISH I could offer DVDs, but so far CafePress doesn't make them.

The main how-to one is the Watercolor Basics, can't remember if it has cats on it or not! My Art Tips compilations do, though...I just checked the files, and it looks like they ALL have something on painting cats, sorry! (They're also on my web page...http://cathyjohnson.info )

And oh my yes, aren't dark cats a challenge!! I must have painted and drawn my black ones dozens of times, and never was quite satisfied...
