I’ve laid in the underpainting, which is deliberately dark.  Even the white fur is a deeper color.  The fur texture will be painted on top of this in lighter strokes.  One of the challenges here is that the stone is very busy.  The cat shares some of the same colors, and you don’t want her to do a Cheshire act and just disappear into the background.  I think I’ll make her a steely blue, with accents of brown.  We’ll see how that works out.
