    I just love how the colors shine through, such a rich dark kitty. Hearing your voice adds a rich layer to seeing this, thank you for sharing your gift!

      I am so grateful for your steadfast support, dear Jayne! It's fun and scary to paint lots of colors and then... cover them in black... but thankfully watercolor is transparent, to some extent.

    So relaxing; your voice is like a balm, as is watching you paint. It would have been helpful to see the reference photo, and l relate to ruining paintings with tiny last-minute strokes. Thank you.

    I’m watching while drawing my cat! Well, I was drawing my cat and then I watched you paint one. I love this and your vibrant pigments!

      If I had a cat I imagine I would spend large chunks of time drawing and painting it: cats are so beautiful!

    It always amazes me how many colors you start with. In the end your cat just glows. I think I would use a dip pen to do the whiskers.

    • @MCMarts

      Thanks, Rae Lynn; the dip pen is an excellent idea, though I have had little practice with it and the few times I have tried it--a long time ago, admittedly--I just managed to make a mess of it. I should try again, though: white ink and a dip pen would be ideal.

    I love your black cat! He/she looks so regal yet so sweet. The eyes are really expressive and the colors you used to paint the black are gorgeous! Very nice. :)

    I am stunned by your knowledge of color theory and brush control Cristina .... I love this meeting you recently but seeing you work with Holbein and different pigments and I just love this you! I have already drawn my cat and my sketchbook and I’m going to do this as I watcher next video I’m getting such a kick out of it I love it I just love your knowledge and your brush control is out of this world I can’t even I don’t know maybe I can I have no clue but it’s amazing! I’m glad I know you know but I wish I’d known of you then. Xx

      @@MCMarts it’s always strange how things pop up on my UA-cam feed, I have just been doing some watercolour again after all sorts of other mediums for some time now. There are just so many things to play with creatively, I hope you are still enjoying your art practice and I am thankful for UA-cam videos to inspire us along the way!💕🇨🇦
