Black cat in acrylics


I wanted to paint a black cat for my son for Christmas. I was having trouble getting a cat that I thought my son would want on his wall.  So I decided to go with a technique that I use in backgrounds. I put drops of paint on a heavy watercolor paper then I used a piece of white card stock to smear the paint across the paper. 

I was going to use the card stock to practice on before I painted on the watercolor paper. I liked how the card stock turned out so much. I framed the card stock. When I gave it to him, I told him it was his cat Neo. He just looked and me and said “I know mom”.  He said he liked it , so that’s good. For his birthday, maybe I’ll try to paint his other cat.
