Value Cat

Yesterday, I took some additional time and started and finished a painting in one sitting. I haven't been doing that. My self-imposed assignment was to focus on the values and the shapes. Rather than sticking to one color, I went with one color for the cat, one color for the blanket, and one color for the eyes.

#188 - Dorian Value Study - 5" x 7"- paper - standard palette
It just amazes me how well the suggested eye reads any time I've tried something like this. 

Also, I switched my standard palette today. My official yellow is now hansa yellow opaque. Since I haven't used this color with pthalo blue red shade before, it did make mixing grays interesting today.
