I created this portrait using pastel on medium gray suede paper which is very well suited to give a soft, fluffy appearance to the fur.

White Persian Cat Portrait Painting in Pastel
Most of you will have recognised the breed of cat featured on this portrait is none other than the Persian. With his long haired coat, round face and pushed-in face, the Persian is the most popular cat breed in the United States today.

Cat portrait update
I plan on finishing this Persian cat portrait today as there is not much left to do; fill in the rest of that bushy tail and front paws and the side of the chair.
This scan of the pastel painting has been color adjusted to match as close as possible the original. However, the contrast is more difficult to match probably because the pastel dust particles have reflective properties and the intensity can change depending on the direction of the light.
