Cat in pencil by Julia Benning

Meooowwww

A lovely painting of a lovely cat! I'm a bit biased 'cos she (I think) looks very much like my own little female cat. Well done.

Hi Julia, Those eyes are amazing...I hadn't noticed before but is his mouth meant to be like that...it looks a trifle off-side, do you think? I love the colours and the way you have blended them.

Thank you for your comments. Yes Ruth, his mouth is like that on the photo I have - he must be in the middle of a meoow!

The eyes are lovely. Like the colours in the fur.

I have to agree with Carole the eyes indeed are really well done - they look so glassy. Love the fur too.

Superb eyes. Very good pencils.

This is really good I struggle with water colour pencils

This is a stunning piece of art. Well done.

Quite spectacular. You must have the patience of a saint - all that fur. Those eyes are totally compelling. You really are turning into a very accomplished artist -big pat on the back from me.

Another absolute cracker. Love the way you have cropped into the face, gives the cat indiviuality.

this is fantastic julia ... your animal potraits are wonderful

Wonderful! Love the eyes. Your entire gallery is VERY good. Thank you very much for your comment on my waterlily.
