I painted a black cat from reddit. The expression of the yelling black cat was just fantastic.

The painting depicts a black square from which the cat’s eyes, teeth and tongue emerge from the darkness. The eyes are a mix of yellow, green and pale orange. The tongue is a red-pink hue, and the teeth are bone-coloured.

The montage below has three panels:

• top left: the original photograph of the cat
