Saturday 7th February 2009 - Portrait Group - Cat



Cat is a friend of Sarkis, a fellow portrait group regular and I had no idea what she looked like before I turned up at the group - I quite often have an idea or an approach in mind. We set her up next to the window for natural light and hung a bright turquoise mexican blanket behind her as a backdrop.



There is something a little different about this one, it's a little cartoon-like, I enjoyed painting the big hair and the earrings and scarf. I felt the warm glow of the kin works against the strong background colour.
