Just a few shots of the process of painting "Sunning". The original can be purchased for $150 over at Kandeart.com. I just figured out a moment ago that you can click the pictures to see them bigger. Convenient!
I love gouache more each time I use it. It can do things that are very subtle or very bold.
The above is after many new layers of shadow. I was able to thin out the paint to add it in thin washes. I love the extra dimension this can give to the color, it's much less flat.
Everyone loves whiskers.
Especially ones with lovely shaded contours.
End result:
