Finished Painting
This smaller project is the perfect piece to work along with if you want to improve your cat portraits. In this piece I show how to work from photo reference that is less than perfect. We deal with creating the contrast between the light and dark areas and I show how I adjust the eyes to capture the likeness.
It’s a piece I made mistakes on, taking many attempts to get the whiskers just right. So I hope you can learn from my process and see how to make important corrections in soft pastel.
Totalling just 4 hours the first part shows you the footage of the background being created. Then there are over 2.5 detailed hours working on the cat with narration and colour codes.
