Mitzi - Watercolour Painting

a3 watercolour bengal cat

Mitzi is a striking Bengal cat with the most unusual diamond-shaped pupils — a detail that makes her gaze completely unforgettable.

Painted in fluid watercolour on handmade Two Rivers paper, the pigments move softly through the fibres, creating depth and atmosphere within her coat. Blues and warm oranges build the darker markings, giving her fur richness without heaviness.

She’s finished with delicate gold whiskers that catch the light as you pass, adding a subtle shimmer and sense of presence.

The painting is float-mounted in a shadowbox frame, so the deckle edges of the handmade paper are visible. The soft shadow around the artwork enhances its tactile quality and celebrates the beauty of the paper itself.
