Bright Eyes V Original Watercolor Painting

While all cats' eyes are beautiful, Janet Wissmann is partial to the green ones. In this painting the artist concentrated on using only two basic colors: orange and green. Paintings that use a very limited palette such as this can be quite compelling.
Janet writes, "In this painting I did use a bit of white for the highlight in the eyes and for a few of the cat's left whiskers, but believe it or not the cat's right whiskers are simply the white of the watercolor paper. (Click on image to see extreme details.) I managed this by using a bit of
liquid mask before painting. This allowed me to keep the background plane intact, allowing the suspended paint particles do their marvelous melding behind the whiskers as only transparent watercolours can do. After the paint was dry, I removed the mask. Then, near the end, I toned down the comparatively bright white a bit by placing a dilute wash or two over the whiskers.

Framing of the original painting
Matting shown on this Bright Eyes V original watercolor is archival Cinnamon suede over Moka suede, with a real feather. Image size approximately 4.5x7.5 inches.
If you don't like this matting, I'll be happy to cut new mats, in a plain off-white double mat, for no charge (as long as I still have the materials here).
