Painting Cats: Step by Step Demonstration
Monday November 21, 2005
I've found that people who love cats tend to be very creative, and many are active in the arts. Small wonder, since cats are such incredibly good subjects for sculpture, sketching, and painting. Marion Boddy-Evans, About.com Guide to Painting, is a confirmed cat lover and she has a number of articles on her site demonstrating techniques for painting various features of cats.
Today Marion shares a step-by-step procedure for painting a cat in acrylics, using a photo as a guide. Marion says, "Unless a cat is sleeping, it's practically impossible to get them to sit and pose for you -- the cat is far more likely to want to try and play with your moving paintbrush! So spend some time trying to get a good reference photo (or a collection) that you're going to use as the inspiration for your cat painting."
If you're like me, you won't be able to resist the urge to go to the nearest art supply store and stock up on brushes, canvases, and paint!
