Hello! How are you? I've been practicing painting portraits lately, and because I have a lot of cats here at home, they're always one of my references when I paint something. He's always my reference, because he always follow me whenever I go and when I ask him to post he always ready to pose for the camera by the way I named him "Pogi" which translate to "Handsome" in English lately I named my cat the same name I just added number to it LOL. So yeah, I will paint him using watercolor, so stay tuned. :D
Materials I Used:
- Watercolor Paint
- Watercolor Brush
- Watercolor Paper 200gsm
- Tissue Paper
- Mechanical Pencil 0.5 HB
- Eraser
- Two Bottles with water
- Spray Bottle
Let's Paint
The first thing I am going to do is to tape the Watercolor Paper into the Notebook, and it has something under it so to angle it like an easel.
Then, I prepare the reference I am going to use, and I am going to use a mechanical pencil for the sketch.
I first sketched the proportions of it and lightly drew it.
After that, I am going to condition the paint by spraying it with water so it is easy to mix later.
First, I started mixing the paints. The first layer is the undertone with a transparent color like cool yellow.
While the first layer was still drying, I started to add color to the part which is not painted yet, which is the eyes.
Then, I painted the ears with a combination of quinacridone red and imidazalone yellow, which are transparent colors, and lightly painted them.
At this time, the first paint is dried already, I again added layer on it now I started to add which the dark fur are.
It looked like it was unsavable, but just trust the process. LOL, I am losing hope in this part, but I continued. I added more detail to the fur.
Layering it again and again. It looks more like a cat now. I added details to it until I was satisfied.
After that, I am going to add highlights with this white pen.
Thank you for visiting, see you on my next blog. :D
