Bengal Cat

Latest painting is a Bengal Cat, close up of face...

Underpainting of the eyes

Started putting in some detail and some blending

Gradually getting the reflections in the eyes

I stupidly thought that painting a large painting, up close, would be easier, I was so wrong because everything is magnified, so every little dot needs to be right....

1. 
2. I am pleased however and think that the eyes are almost there
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Just some underpainting then trying to get the sheen with coloured pencils ..........
