Last week I posted what I had hopped would be my final paining for my end of term portfolio and said I would show you the finished article if I didn't ruin it. Well I did ruin it so I started again again . Oon Tuesday and this time I managed not to ruin it.
So first what I am trying to paintIt is a blamk crad I spotted in Wendy Brandon's Jam and Pickle shop in west Wales and fell in love with



And now my stages to completion. It is done in inks(the tree) pastel(the cat and tree leaves) and the background ( simple water coulour wash. A charcoal pencil was used for the black bits on the tree.
