Rustling in the leaves...

Aren't watercolours just delightful?

I simply used a downloaded photo that I really liked and outlined the facial features and leaves in pencil. I actually took a bit of time on this stage, to be sure I was happy with the kitten's expression, as I kept coming up with an endless variety of naughty faces! The kitty in the photo actually looked a little scared and vulnerable - but that is the beauty of interpreting an image in your own way. Every person will produce something quite unique from anyone else, and which only that person can put onto paper.
