I painted this cat eye with #watercolor on synthetic ivory and wanted to show the amazing difference a piece of metalic mylar can make. #ivory or #ivorine in this case is very translucent when cut thin, and the light passes through, bounces off the #mylar , and makes the painting glow! #illustration #cateye #watercoloronivory #arttechniques #artstudio #myart #baylaart #catsofinstagram (at New Haven, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzEOrMDg925/?igshid=evd1lz5exthl
