Painting a Cat in Pastel

 
 

Part 2 has arrived!

Our previous lesson brought a general impression of the cat to life, but we still have some work to do!

It’s time to meet up at the easel once more, so we can develop our furry feline with all the wonderful things we love about cats. Long whiskers, pointy ears, beautiful eyes, pink nose…🎉

By the end of this lesson, you’ll be purring with affection for the dazzling cat portrait that you've created. 

As promised, here is Part 2 of Painting a Cat in Pastel.

In this video I’ll teach you:

  • How to create the impression of fur by varying your edges

  • How to use light and shadow to paint a white cat with form and volume

  • How to refine without overworking so your cat looks fresh and lively

Click here to watch the video and let me show you how. And if you haven’t seen Part 1 of the lesson yet, you’ll want to head over and watch that here first. 

Be inspired,
Alain
