Thank you Jane for the amazing class! 

I spent great time drawing and painting the cat!

She is so beautiful and I love how delicate you have painted her. You catched that dreamy look she has.

I was learning alot from you and the lessons are very easy to follow. Just like you told I watched first then planned what to do and then painted along. 

The most challenging part was the drawing.

I struggle with the accuracy. At the end of my final sketch I put my drawing over cat's photograph and I saw what went wrong.

I mainly left my outlines except I changed the middle lines of the nose, ears. I noticed that I miss or even flip angles of the objects. This experience encourage me to pay more attention to the measurments and proportions. 

The most fun part was painting the eyes. Then whole picture went alive. And it was easier to adjust the rest of the colors and the tones. I loved painting stripes and watch the flow of the colors on wet paper. 

I did alot of masking and then I had to cover or soften some of the marks that was standing out too much.

I also let darker colors around the eyes and it was hard to remove stains so I added a bit of white gelly pen ink. 

Nose was the hardest in drawing and in painting too. I guess we see it all the time but it is very complex shape that not alike eyes or ears where the shape is more familiar and obvious. But it is my thoughts.

I am very happy with the result. And even more happier to paint with you and learn your mastery of watercolor.

Will try more of your classes in the future. They are very effective in teaching a beautiful way to portray animals. All of your artworks are very impressive. They are like fairy tails and poetry about animal world.
