I'm still very proud of this one. At 50 x 70 cm this painting is the most monstrous thing I have painted in my life to this date and proved a serious test in many ways. Among other challenges, fitting it onto a desk, not creasing the paper by mistake and parrying the constant advances of ragdoll cat butt. To avoid making the painting ridiculously detailed I drew the sketch digitally in a small format, then blew it up and printed out in eight pieces to trace onto the watercolour paper.
