Introducing Jude, The Sphynx Cat

The conclusions of last week’s painted knitting!

Presenting my finished commissioned portrait of the amazing Sphynx cat Jude, dressed in a modified woolly sock and clutching a crocheted Chewbacca.

This was my first encounter with a sphynx cat and painting her was extraordinary . Various references crossed my mind: cat, little wise old lady, ET.

Certainly not conventional, there was something both familiar and other worldly about her, add to which a very expressive, comical sense of character.

I've included a mini time-lapse below of my journey using digital oil brush and paint to build the portrait up from a rough line sketch to the finished painting.
