Christmas Cats - 10 x 14 - WIP
Christmas Cats will be my Christmas card this year and yes I am running just a tad late. I am really excited with my picture and really enjoying working on it. I am trying to be very patient and glaze each layer on the cats to develop their structure. It is so easy to smack on a wack of colour and then regret it, so slow and steady is my goal. The cats are white and since they are in the sun I really have to search for areas of shadow to define them. The background is going to be so much fun to do as I did a variation on the watercolour pouring technique and then I will do some glazing in the negative to pull out different things. I can see it taking shape in my mind but my husband just looks at it and says "the background is too light!!"I hope all your holiday preparations are going well, it seems we are full steam ahead for Christmas. I am still finishing up a few commissions and trying not to panic. I know things will be done on time. Good luck with your prep and hopefully I will have the finished picture posted soon.

Good Luck, Wendy. You're cutting your timing VERY closely!
Wow Wendy, I didn't expect this when I opened the blog, well done!
Yes, Kathryn, I am cutting it close but there is still 2 weeks and Canada Post said that Christmas cards can be mailed as late as Dec. 19. I am sure I will be ready long before then!!
Hey Brenda, glad I could give you a bit of a surprise. I must admit it is a little different for me to do animals in watercolour but I am all for trying new things.
This is looking fascinating Wendy - can't wait to watch it develop!!! :)
Thanks Karen, should be ready to post in a day or two. Things are going well.
