So, I've been trying to get better at painting animals. I love cats, so it made sense that I would paint a few of them. I've tried to paint animals in the past and have always been disappointed in how I painted fur. At that time I was trying hard to make photorealistic paintings. It was all ok, but thats not really how I want to paint. I want to give the impression of a thing. When you look at one of my paintings I want you to get the emotion and feeling that I put into it out of it. If the painting looks exactly like the object it was taken, great, if it doesn't so be it.
So, here I am painting this cat, and wanting to convey to you a bit of grumpiness from this cat without explicitly painting a perfect cat. I think you get a bit of that from this cat.
Want to see how I painted it? Check out the video below. Want me to paint something for you? Curios how someone would paint something. I'd love to take a crack at whatever you can dream up. Leave me a comment or shoot me an email. Thanks for the quick read, and enjoy the video.
