Lovely. I liked how the cat „came to live“ throughout your painting.

[@chkarron]

Thank you!

[@ArtajFrancis]

Fantastico

[@johnsarhadian3673]

Your artistic skill is reflected strongly with your love and passion for art you are doing,sketching a cat head is easy but painting of the cat is very difficult in particular the eyes,you have done a remarkable good work and highly appreciated for sharing the beautiful video with us,many thanks to you.god bless.

[@creativegirlzariya]

Beautiful 👌👏👏👏 it's so beautiful and realistic thanks for sharing 🤩

[@tedborowskisr.3890]

I didn't take my eyes off you painting. I was surprised the way you did the whiskers! Amazing!

[@scarz1951]

Beautiful painting! I just finished one of my nieces family cat. He was 22 when the cancer killed him. You did a great job on the painting and in helping your sister to heal.

[@Knysh32]

большое спасибо за такое подробное видео - наслаждаешься вашей работой и надеешься что хоть чуть-чуть получится также здОрово! респект!

[@muskndusk]

He's so alive. I love the way you 'lift' the whiskers. I gave up trying to paint cats in watercolour and moved to pastels and acrylics purely because of this problem: I couldn't paint the whiskers or ear hairs. It's fascinating to see how you tackle this.

[@NOLAinNOOGA]

the best relaxing music ever! And thank you for the step by step.. I’m struggling but you have helped me more than you ever will know. Hugs!

[@chkarron]

Thanks so much! I am happy to hear that :)

[@sarajhodges3357]

HOW YOU DID THE FINE DETAILS OF THE EYE IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! VERY BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK. THANK YOU!

[@mazlovesgiraffes]

Incredibly beautiful and inspiring to watch.

[@kathrynhouslet3427]

I have watched this several times. I love to study the way you paint from the back and bring it forward. It gives it such depth. Love your work. Being a woodcarver I am used to working in a negative way from front to back . THis is amazing work.

[@yvonnesims8765]

This is beautiful, I am wanting to try this!

[@jeanmariebostley2143]

I love the whisker trick! Wonderful outcome. Thanks for sharing in real time.

[@aileencat1325]

I love this cat's bright expression and detailed markings. What a great choice for a subject!

[@michellemarini5128]

Wow, amazing!!!

[@sds9418]

J'ADORE !!!! Votre chat est magnifique ! C'est vraiment très très beau et très enrichissant ! Merci

[@chkarron]

Merci :) It is my sister's cat :)

[@nidiapearson7409]

[@Jeanne88B]

I loved watching how you did this. Thanks for posting! Beautiful!

[@martynfletcher2054]

WOW! Such fantastic skill you have .Thanks for posting.

[@chkarron]

Thank you! :)

[@Nasauniverse001]

Music was so good, relaxing.

[@nsavar5864]

Your brush control is as beautiful as your painting. It is a pleasure to watch. Thank you. I am new to painting and learned so much from watching you in real time. It is informative to watch you build layers. I don't know how you see all the underlayers of color but it gives me something to ponder. I just subscribed and look forward to viewing your other tutorials. Thank you. --nina from Chicago US.

[@rozario-kai]

下絵から、着彩の前の水での紙慣らし見事です。鉛筆の線が生きてます。イエローオーカーからの調整も良いです。影入れも一番暗いところからうまいです。１時間はかかりますね。

[@j.adanherrera1800]

Gorgeous cat and gorgeous work,you're an amazing artist!

[@user-bh9yn8yu5v]

Bravo !

[@deborahbarbaccia6813]

Wow great job, I've been practicing a pet portrait of my daughters cat, but in rainbow colors. This one looks quite a bit like hers. I didn't know how to treat his markings, now I do. I just need to decide what colors to put where. And the sketched markings helped alot. Thanks so much for sharing your talent ❤️

[@jeffpape6519]

Beautiful! Please keep it up!

[@buki123]

Looks like my cat

[@barbarqszczepanska16]

So beautiful! Thank you!🥰

[@beece2413]

Very well done

[@maddragon1568]

I absolutely love this! Plus it was really great seeing the entire process in real time rather than sped up like speedpaints! :3

[@AlisonFennell]

Divine work Christine - so luscious and those eyes are out of this world:) Thanks.

[@jeanetemattos9108]

Lindo!

[@svenmuller7477]

Amazing! So beautiful! Thank you!

Thank you Svetlana!

[@rescueaunty6097]

Stunning!

[@velvetybabe]

I wish I could get as much details in my drawings great job

[@elianeguimaraesdocarmo2445]

Muito lindo! Parabéns!!

[@Nasauniverse001]

Lovely

[@E.Andolfo]

Amazing I love how you use of the flat brush. And how it comes all together with patience and skill.

[@sonyadeantonio]

You should try arches paper. No rough edges. I love your cat. The painting is beautiful.

[@judyh3017]

Very nice! Wow!

[@liiley__]

thankyou for sharing this watercolor painting demo! your painting is so beautiful.

[@nekojita5150]

Simply fantastic! I love watching fellow artists paint. Great technique, layering and use of color!

[@lauraheller2366]

Thank you for filming this. It really helped me with technique.

[@belettelepink9075]

wonderful painting!

[@machesss]

Thank you so much for this demo, I didn't know how to begin using watercolour. I followed you along and my version turned out nice too, so thank you again

[@michellemarini5128]

This is my cat!!!

[@belindawest3558]

Gorgeous. What talent you have

[@beeffr]

Had my volume on low with headphones and thought the music was coming from outside my window. Realized five minutes in it was from this😂

[@christelvertriest5558]

Dank u voor je mooi werk dat je met ons wilde delen Christel Vertriest

[@chkarron]

Thank you, Christel! :)

[@patknight12]

Beautiful. One of the main lessons is how much patience and thought this painting took. What brush were you using? The fine point is amazing.

[@cassandrak9753]

Wow I. Wish I could do that. Amazing

[@chkarron]

Thank you, Cassandra!

[@ruperto4200]

Wow!

[@meggieinwv]

Beautiful.

[@KhushiSingh-ec8bk]

Very beautiful👌👌👌👌

[@deborahbarbaccia6813]

Also your painting slowly, much easier to follow. You didn't apply too much water to the paper in the beginning, and I haven't seen you apply more. When you switched to the round brush were you painting wet on dry? Maybe 140lb paper dries quicker than your 400lb??

[@silviadiporto291]

Wonderful artist

[@nidiapearson7409]

Fabulous! Many thanks

[@lindalee4014]

Pure MEOWY!

[@liviariviello9474]

Fantastico!!

[@lyanjee4310]

Wow!!!So beautiful!!! I am delighted:):):):)

[@LHudsonARTLIFTS]

What's the technique you're using to pull out those whiskers so accurately? Fantastic style!

[@kaboompainting9984]

Love this so much!

[@nellyquilt9794]

Sehr schön ! Du hast ein grossen Talent. Danke für das schöne Lernvideo.

[@chkarron]

Thank you, Richard!

[@OnlineCollegeofArtandDesign]

[@alluneed858]

Your videos are very nice,and it looks like my cat - tompy ,😍☺️

[@6862211]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@MinniLuffy]

oh my god, it's perfect 🤩🤩

[@daniellehudson9304]

Is there a time limit you can lift the paint for the whiskers? If i paint a painting over a few days can I still lift the paint like this?

[@ady_kotidou]

This is soo pretty!! You deserve more likes!!

[@cynthiasaenz]

Do you make the white hairs (whiskers) only with water? and paper towel?

[@madhanagopal9357]

Awesome

[@chkarron]

Thank you!

[@ching-ishen4644]

療癒❤️

[@Muhtesemkkuzenler]

PAİNTER 👍👍👍👌👌

[@lyme6531]

Amazing.. Edit: How long have you been practicing watercolors? I’m just curious.

[@barbararegina5198]

I have never seen paint lift as well as you did for those whiskers! What brush are you using there? It must have been a very stiff one, yes?

[@itriedfollowingatutorial828]

just the lineart thing already looks real

[@carolineswelt]

Woah!!!!!! Christine!!!!

[@chkarron]

Danke, freut mich

[@9chloie]

beautiful work! curious about your initial drawing...do you draw direct on the paper, use a light table, or any other method? thanks!

[@chkarron]

Thanks Sharon! I usually sketch directly on watercolor paper and try not to erase too much, but of course that doesn't work always - so if I manage to mess up the paper, I just transfer the sketch on a new watercolor paper sheet with transparent paper. I have many videos where I recorded the sketching process as well. Sometimes I just start sketching and forget to start recording in time :)

[@mariamunozbaquero6145]

Me encanta Enhorabuena. .

[@betyhovorkova41]

Wow it's amaizing, but can you please Edit it in speed vertion(sory for my english I'm from Czech republick and I'm stil learning)

[@user-zg8np8eq8c]

очень красиво

[@chkarron]

Thank you!

[@user-jz3on9mm4s]

Я доже красива рисую я щас рисавала

[@patriziaravani828]

Bello.

[@gigijohnson3211]

You are an amazing artist. Where did you get your art education and experience?

[@pierrebattistini8820]

Les vibrisses sont faites comment ? Avec de l'eau ? sur une toile déjà sèche ?

[@JackFate518]

Do you have a video where you tell in more detail how you do the whiskers and eyebrows?

[@chkarron]

Here is another video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aICWl5l7obqGqMk And this is a video about the technique: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWfHiWyglqmGkMU Hope that helps :)

[@annapaolabazzani263]

bravissima!

[@chkarron]

Thank you!

[@englahimla9451]

Wow! Is there any way to commission you? Or do you sell prints? I'm seriously in love with your art! And I'm sorry if my questions are already answered in any of the websites in the description box - I have to go for now, but I've bookmarked this page and my question still stands for now :D! And, if you don't mind me asking, for how long have you been working with watercolor as a medium? You're really an inspiration to a beginner like me!

[@carlabernecoli2071]

Thanjs for sharing

[@rowdeo8968]

So very lovely! I had to turn volume off because music drove me nuts!

[@angel-oh6of]

[@chkarron]

Thank you! For the eyes: Yellow Ochre, Viridian Green, Sap Green, Burnt Sienna, Cobalt Blue, Prussian Blue, Burnt Umber, Payne's Gray.

[@tinemiloumaja7862]

Christine Karron Thank you also from me. I learn watercolor and it's helpful so much to know the colors for these steps. 🤗

[@emmaconnibeer2680]

What colours did you use for the eyes?

[@PSArtGallery]

nice demo #psartgallery

[@chkarron]

Thank you!

[@Nasauniverse001]

Notes on colour of wash would have been great.

[@aayushkhatiwada8468]
