Black Cat and a small woman head study

The small woman head study was painted on 340 Lb coldpressed paper. I just wanted to try how this paper works. I painted already some flowers on this paper, but I really wanted to figure out how it works for faces and hair. It works - but I think it is not really my favorite. The surface is really rough and the colour is not so easy to lift as working on a smoother surface. I think I have better control when working on other surfaces. Size is 6x6 inch.

This black cat was painted on 140 Lb coldpressed paper. Size is 5x7 inch.

Hello!

I'm not certain about your name , Doris Joa???.

I love all your paintings and will use on of them to illustrate one of my post.
I will give you all credits. Hopefully you don't mind.
