Overhead Orange Cat Study on Worn Leather
overhead view · orange tabby · worn leather · oil study
Paint a minimalist overhead study in a 3:2 landscape format for an editorial feature. A curled-up orange cat rests slightly below center on the broad seat of a vintage caramel leather couch. Its rounded body forms a clear spiral, with ears, closed eyes, and tucked paws suggested by only a handful of assured marks. Sunlight streams across the cat from the upper right, forming a pale rectangular window patch that continues over the cushion seam. Crop away most of the room and emphasize the relationship between circular fur and rectangular upholstery. Use dry-brushed leather scuffs, restrained impasto highlights, and warm neutral negative space.
