I’ve got another fine art piece to share that’s been inspired by – a stamp! Yep when I see someone come out with something it often gets me to think about painting the subject, and the big cat eyes on Sasha Kitten definitely did that for me.
Jean Haines
I used a technique from a Jean Haines class – her classes are insanely inspiring and her books are wonderful – Atmospheric Watercolors has been on my shelf for inspiration for a long time, and her new book Paint Yourself Positive is as fabulous as the whole series has been.

The painting was created with two colors – Imperial Purple and Aussie Red Gold – with a tiny touch of Sap Green for the eye and some Titanium White highlights and whiskers. That’s it, believe it or not!

Kitty Card
I made one card with Sasha Kitten – and on social media later I’ll watercolor another one too, so keep an eye on Facebook and Instagram!

Amazing, what a great artist you are! Thanks for sharing your gorgeous work with us.
I watch all your videos and this I think will be my favourite for a long time to come.. Your talent for making these masterpieces from nothing is truly amazing…
Oh wow! That was awesome. The cat just emerged from the background. You’re amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Just stunning!
Magnificent Sandy–I couldn’t believe how the cat just seemed to magically appear as you were painting the background. Thanks for sharing with us.
Another beauty Sandy!!! WOW
Wow Sandy , that’s fantastic ! I’ll have to give something like that soon .
Another informative watercolor video, thank you for your passion for Watercolor Month!!
What is the brush you are using, I was amazed such fine lines for the eye could come from such a large brush. Looks bigger than a 20 round, and Kolinsky?
WOW! I made my husband watch the video, and he was impressed as much as I was! I love that background technique and I was amazed you could paint over it and still see the details. LOVE IT!
Stunning Sandy. I could not have seen that cat. Just gorgeous. TFS. Hugz
I am in awe! You are amazing. I couldn’t imagine this beauty was done with just 2 colors! I am inspired by you every day.
That is insanely beautiful. I want to be able to make a painting like that one of these days!
You are so talented Sandy. Thank you for sharing. I love your tutorials and videos. This one especially as i love cats.
