scruffy cat

My latest experiment with textured papers and Acrylics on canvas.
I found some special papers at the art store after reading about textured rice papers. I can't remember the name of the papers - starts with "A". It is paper with fibers embedded in it. I accidentally discovered you can tear the paper and it goes all feathery and stringy. I figured it might be effective as a furry texture, and also used some of the wiry bits as whiskers. In some areas I cut the textured papers into shapes with scissors and pasted them on. The size is: 30 cm x 40 cm
