Colored Pencil: Kittens in a Cup

"Kittens in a Cup"
Approx. 6 x 6 inches
Colored pencils on Clairefontaine Pastelmat paper

       Aren't these the cutest little fellows? I know I said that I was finished with kittens for a while, but this was a piece that I started years ago and needed to finish. I have quite a few that need finishing and yes, one of them is a kitten...sigh.

   I thought these would be cute for Friday Face Off, and I may, or may not be finished with them. Every time I look at them I see a little something that needs to be adjusted, if I really want to be picky...and I usually am, lol!

   This is my first attempt at using the pastelmat paper for colored pencils and I did find it challenging until I got use to the grainy texture. I like it, though, because you can apply many layers of colored pencil. I think the oil-based type works best. 

   Thank you for visiting my blog and for your kind comments. See you next week...
