Cats, cats cats!

Here's a Bobcat I've been working on -- this one is in colored pencil, with Idia ink in the darkest spots.  I fussed too much with the lower rock, but I think it's a nice study of light and dark.  I'm going to try it again in oil but much larger (I think I'll try 24 x 32 or something).  I'd like to get the highlighted parts to really glow in the hot sun...we'll see!


I'm getting into an 'experiment with color' phase, and I thought black would be a great way to play with different colors.  This is Spritzer, my niece's cat that I'm working on, and he's a real card!  This is done in colored pencil...not sure if I'm going to put a background on it or not, and I need to darken some of the darkets places -- we'll see how it turns out.


Happy painting!  Don't forget to check-out my website too.  http://www.michelleamicucci.com/
