Siamese Secrets

9x9 mixed media on Magnani 140 lb cold press paper done today.  First I sketched the cat's outline with a chopstick dipped into black India ink.  Carb Othello pastels in flesh tone, white, yellow ochre, brown, gray, black, and orange yellow used to apply the Siamese's fur.  The same chopstick was used for whiskers when done.  I was missing Jezebel, studio Siamese, today and decided to use a photo of her (although her nose was not that long like a purebred) and the pastels.  Those were given to me when a friend's wife passed away and is a nice set of them plus colored charcoal pencils just waiting to be useful again.
