How to Paint a Cat with Watercolors | Part 1/2 Step by Step Tutorial - Loose Expressive Style

[@WendyPaints]

I hope you'll enjoy my first ever tutorial on KZbin! Keen to hear your thoughts and feedback! 🤗

[@titiswa]

What a beautiful painting. Totally agree with you said, "Trust the process" is the key of enjoying the painting process

[@WendyPaints]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad to hear that part resonated with you. I have definitely encountered certain stages of some painting where I've felt like it's not getting anywhere, but usually it's those last few steps that really make the painting come together. Thank you for watching! 🤗❤

[@claudecarter4876]

I love the cat! So gorgeous. I admire how you blend the background into the picture, without mixing it with the cat - and oh the fluffiness. And how it is purple and pink, but still white! And also, how your cat fits perfectly in the castle picture. The colors! ❤️

[@WendyPaints]

Aww thank you so much for the kind words Claude! ❤ I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed this tutorial. I'll be sure to create more in the future! 😊

[@colourstherapysculpt3423]

This is beautiful ❤️😍❤️😊

[@WendyPaints]

Thank you so much! 🤗 Glad you think so!

Very good & helpful video. I'm Form Biswajit's Art community post.

[@WendyPaints]

Aww that's great to hear, I'm glad you also found the video helpful! Thank you so much! 😊😊

[@LeftturnArt]

Interesting to watch you paint step by step. Those seem like way much more layers than I can imagine! hahaha Nice music!

[@WendyPaints]

Awww thank you so much Wenny! 😘 Hahaha we are both fans of layers for sure 😂 Oh it was the music that actually inspired me to go play piano finally! 🤭

[@LeftturnArt]

@@WendyPaints oh nice! You should play more :)

[@WendyPaints]

@@LeftturnArt Aww thanks for the encouragement! ☺😘

[@journalwitharch_of_colours]

The thing that I loved the most is that the picture quality is excellent 👍 and you've taught the correct use of different brushes at each stage very nicely.☺️❣️

[@WendyPaints]

Yay thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear this because the editing took me several days, so I'm glad you enjoyed the quality of the video! ☺❤

[@WendyPaints]

Aww and thank you for the lovely feedback on the teaching, it is very encouraging to hear that on my first tutorial video. Thank you! 🥰

[@habituallearner7680]

Thank you SO much! I started painting so that I could paint my cats and dogs. While I've a looong way to go before I can paint them adequately, I am grateful for this tutorial.

[@WendyPaints]

Aww I'm so glad to hear you found this useful 😊 Thank you for the feedback!

[@sowmyakarthik817]

I always love to draw animals and this is so cute. ...love the limited color choices and the cat is so realistic.Thank you for sharing the wonderful tutorial dear wendy.😍😍🤩🤩🤗

[@WendyPaints]

Thank you so much Sow! I'm glad you like the colours, I tend to gravitate towards these colours a lot for painting soft animals 😊 Happy to hear you enjoyed the tutorial!

[@nimisharawat6033]

Absolutely love this detailed tutorial! Before I hop on to part 2, I just wanted to tell you that I have admired your style for a long time and I love that I can now see how your paintings come together! ❤️ Also, your voice is very soothing; I once listened to your video while making an assignment 🙈

[@WendyPaints]

Awww you are an absolute sweetheart Nimisha! This makes me so happy to hear! If you have time I would definitely love to see your recreation as your paintings are always beautiful 😍

[@eusebioguerrero4947]

It's incredible the softness that the brushes generate. I would like to see more action for the N°2 Rigger in other video tutorial, I really want to see the capacity creating straight lines. Thanks for sharing your art 🙌

[@WendyPaints]

Thank you for watching! I actually use the No.2 Rigger brush more in Part 2 of the tutorial to define the whisker details and the highlighted fur so you can check out the No.2 Rigger in action in Part 2 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJLFq2mdi756mqs I'll also be making another video to show the lines you can achieve with the Esoda Ultimo brush range so will be sure to include the rigger :) But for now you can have a look at Part 2! 😉 Thanks again for watching!

[@San-xf8dc]

Wow 😻 Amazing!! Loved the choice of colours in the limited palette. Choice of beautiful colours gave a whimsical look to the cat. Those awesome layer by layer strokes technique is just mind blowing 🤯 Thank you so much for sharing such an awesome tutorial

Awww so happy to hear that, thank you so much and I'm glad you enjoyed the process! ❤😊

[@spicingcoloursbylisiya]

I dont know how you pick the colours, how you manage the cat look white even with these colours? It’s something I should learn from you Wendy. Always amazed by your animal portraits, how soft , fluffy and adorable they always look. 😍🙏🥰! Incredibly talented. Thanks for the tutorial..i might give it a try although I am very skeptical it would turn out anywhere closer to yours🤣

[@WendyPaints]

Awww thank you so much sweet Lisiya! 😘 You're always so supportive of me and so happy to hear you enjoyed the tutorial! I'm sure your cat will turn out amazing, all your paintings are incredibly beautiful you talented girl! ❤

[@sok8557]

Hi ! I really enjoyed how you managed to manipulate watercolour into making such a wide array of effects! I especially love how you made use of the dry brush to mimic the texture of the fur :) Painting white subject matter is rather difficult for me and i really admire how you purposefully leave such empty areas and only focus on the darker areas and subtle shadows. I like how you used the various techniques :: wet on wet, dry brush. Thank you for hosting the giveaway by the way, it allows artistsall over the word to have more access to art supplies! Hope you have a wonderful day

[@sok8557]

i tend to overblend the paints a lot too and don’t really know when to stop. I think your tip about letting the paint do it’s thing was helpful !

[@WendyPaints]

Thank you so much for the kind words Sophia! I'm so glad to hear that you found this video informative and thank you for sharing with me what you learnt from this video as well, that makes me very happy to see! These Escoda Ultimo brushes are perfect for soft loose paintings like this, and that's the reason why I chose this particular style of painting, to really bring our the true potential of these brushes 🤗 Thank you for the support! ❤

[@WendyPaints]

@@sok8557 Awww yes I find this to be especially true if I'm taking my time with a piece and painting slowly, I need to remind myself not to overblend too!

[@artmusingsdiary7712]

[@doniartsanwaltercolour3449]

Went back to this video and realized that I missed several steps. I think I forgot to (1) add more values (to my dark colors) as well as (2) blend several hard edges XD hahaha. Anyways thank you for the amazing tutorial Wendy! I am used to be very unfamiliar with painting animals in watercolor, therefore I am glad that my first experience was with your tutorial :D

[@WendyPaints]

Hahaha no worries as you still did an amazing job Doni! 😉 this is also good for me to know, so I know to slow it down a bit more in the future, thanks so much! 😊 Loved your version!

[@maritzanunez4279]

I love cata! Looks amazing Smith tais brushes. Do you have used another series of Escoda brushes?

[@WendyPaints]

Thank you so much! 😊 For this entire painting I used Escoda Ultimo brushes but I do own some other Escoda brushes. Is there any in particular you are interested in seeing?
