[@gatekeepersacredshapes]

the whole time i keep thinking the kitty is saying "look at me .. i'm just a baby! "

[@chkarron]

Ha-ha, yes he is a sweet subject :)

[@alexandrar8165]

CCCCCCCUUUUUUUTTTTTTTEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

[@High4Him2]

Amazing as always, Christine; my favorite part was when you added the whiskers. So much, I'd love to pick this sweet kitten up and squeeze it but I know I have to wait for the paint to dry . . .

[@chkarron]

The best part comes always at the end - enjoyed the whiskers part as well :) Thanks so much Bonnie!

[@jazzpear8877]

I looooove Royal and Langnickel brushes!!!

[@chkarron]

Thanks :)

[@kriskrumanaker4315]

SOOOOO SWEET!

[@chkarron]

Thanks Kris!

[@muskndusk]

I wish this had narration. Lovely cat painting; interesting way of putting in the whiskers. My only criticism is that he has the head of a brown tabby and the body of a silver tabby.

[@kerry00]

Wow. Just Wow...

[@ellens.5612]

Exquisite!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@chkarron]

Thank you :)

[@valerienorman6421]

You make it look so easy! I am learning water color, thank you for your videos!

[@chkarron]

My pleasure, thank you, Valerie!

[@carolfloyd9565]

Awesome

[@amyjohnson6083]

I absolutely adore this painting!!! Wonderful work!!! It's not titled as a tutorial. May I try to paint and follow this? Thank you!!

[@chkarron]

Thank you, Amy! Yes, feel free to do so!

[@maegantse3920]

I must have this sweet bebe floof

[@megg7558]

Sweet little kitten. Some hard edges.

[@feliciajenny4885]

thanks for all the video as for the first time I'm able to draw but not like you still l'm learning from your videos

[@chkarron]

I am happy you like my videos, thanks! Happy painting :)

[@MS-kc1sd]

Wow it is so so cute 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@amyeliz919]

This is amazing! Im trying to learn how to use watercolours and this is really helpful! :)

[@chkarron]

I am happy to read that, thank you!

[@deborahtaylor7902]

So beautiful. I’ve never seen anyone paint like u esp with the flat brush! I am afraid to use dark colors in the beginning. I’ll have to practice this. Ps. Is this all wet in wet? I did not see u wet the paper in the beginning but u still got soft edges. Thank u

[@GC-tf5sw]

Nice realistic painting. BTW what are the palette colors used?

[@chkarron]

Winsor&Newton: Prussian Blue, Winsor Violet, Yellow Ochre, Payne's Gray, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber. Grumbacher: Brown Madder, Alizarin Rose, Cobalt Blue. Thank you!

[@yann0627]

Learnt a lot! :)

[@chkarron]

Awesome :)

[@nathantom5644]

Trop mignon 💞💞💞

[@sweety0711]

Thanks for sharing! Could you explain how did you bring out the whiskers?

[@chkarron]

Just cover the areas where you want to lift the paint with water and then take it away with a paper towel! Here is a video about this technique: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWfHiWyglqmGkMU

[@ZeeMightyMite]

I love, love your work! Everything you do is beautiful! Would you mind telling me what is the weight of your paper and do you prefer a certain brand?

[@chkarron]

Thanks Sophie! 140lb/300g, I like to use Strathmore watercolour paper 400 series.

[@ZeeMightyMite]

Thank you! I appreciate the prompt reply! You're the best...

[@AnaksPiter]

So good😼👍

[@nicholaichivoski1304]

FUCKING AMAZING i would love to make something like this for my boyfriend back in texas he has two cats of his own

[@chkarron]

Thank you!

[@sharonstack4269]

Adorable painting and well done. However, I have no sound though my speakers are turned up. This video would be much better with some explanation of what your are doing and why.

[@terrythomas790]

Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to do what you do! I like how simple strokes together make a complete picture in the end. My problem is I don't know when to stop, and it then it ends up being more realistic instead of loose. Very enjoyable watching all your videos!!One question. I see that you use tube paint. When you have extra left on the palette when finished, does it dry up and then used like a tray paint? Or do you just wipe it off and start fresh the next time? Paints are expensive and it s a shame to just throw a lot away in the end.

[@chkarron]

Hi Terry, thanks so much! I have the same problem with ending up too realistic, too much detail, instead of loose :) That's why I use bigger brushes - that helps me a lot! And no, I never clean up my mixing palette - I always use the rest paint on my palette :)

[@Iloveflowers2024]

Lovely work. Enjoyable to watch and helpful too. I can learn just by watching, it suits me and I like it quiet. I like that you've listed all your colors and materials used. Thanks.

[@chkarron]

Thanks so much! I am absolutely visual as well :)

Wow amazing and Beautiful 👌👏👏👏 talent 😊no words to describe your talent my friend 🤗 thanks for sharing 😊 stay happy stay connected 🤗 please stay in touch 💞

[@Horsewoman-pt2ku]

Lovely! Best part was adding whiskers and hair at end. Would love to hear voice over with this video explaining colors used especially for the lifting color part.

[@chkarron]

It is difficult to explain, as I am mostly painting intuitive and new to recording my work, but will try my best to improve and add more info :) Thanks so much!

[@anamia9905]

I agree that this would be way better with a voice over, but either way, this already took so long I wouldn't have the energy to voice over it myself! Good job on the art

[@eriklarsen6790]

I have not watched this video yet but I know it is mumptious like kittens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mischabe3]

Beautiful. If only I could draw freehand like you!

[@chkarron]

Practice is the key :) Happy drawing :)

[@chkarron]

Thank you all :)

[@sadefoy]

Thank you so much for adding these watercolor tutorials of tabbies. I'm just beginning to use watercolors to do cats and one of your pictures looks almost exactly like my kitty❤ I wonder if you have any cats that are in paper bags?

[@waukonstandard]

That you could paint this awesome piece with one big darn brush is just amazing!!! Love this video!

[@anatoliylitvinenko4201]

Чудове кошенятко!

[@teresawebster3498]

Beautifully done, adorable kitten! Whatever you are painting on is moving slightly though. I look forward to watching more of your painting.

[@chkarron]

Hi Teresa, it's not what I am working on but the stand of the camera - hopefully I find a better solution for this problem one day :) Thanks so much!

[@maegantse3920]

It’s the kitten wiggling cause it’s so real

[@H2Cindy]

May I ask to you use reference photos? You are amazing!!!

[@chkarron]

Thank you! For those realistic portraits, yes. I usually list below the video if I used a reference pic or not - click on "show more".
