Just finished it two days ago. I was initially attracted to colors and intensity of the original photograph, so I wanted to portray those qualities.  I used several layers of colors, trying to stay true to the value tones.  In general, I try to avoid using masking fluid, so  I only added whitish whiskers with white ink on one side of the cat.  I hope you like it :-)

I really appreciate it.  It does sometimes help to have a good photograph to work from though :-)

This is lovely, Svetlana. You've captured the beauty, the essence of a Siamese.
