Black Cat on a Fence

11" x 14" oil on linen

This is the piece I had students paint in class last Tuesday night. One gal had asked if we could paint a cat so this is what I found. It fit my lesson plan, which focused on atmospheric perspective. They were also surprised that we could paint a black cat without using black paint.

Everyone struggled with the eyes but they were all finished within two hours.

A collection of gourds and a black cat. Tis the season, I suppose.
