Lovely to see your channel growing! Well done! I think the second cat was hypnotizing me...! Love the split screen using actual reference photo. I sometimes have difficulty seeing the 'underlayers' and tend to paint what I see on top. But I'm here to learn!
This is super helpful! I don't paint or draw many cats. But this will help me improve no matter what medium I end up doing as the tips translate across mediums. Fab video!
Hi can I ask a question please? I know you use fabriano paper do you prep it in any way (gesso) before adding paint ??? also do you air brush your back ground and if so can you recommend any paint brand .. oh also do you varnish your work. Thank you for your videos your work is amazing you feel that you can stroke the animals as they look so real. thank you
I do not prep the fabriano. I used gesso for a time and just found it a mess about, very hard to get totally smooth and didn't really help anything as the paper handles the acrylic fine without it...so I stopped. I just use my usual paints in my airbrush and water it down. Takes a bit of practice..I don't buy specific airbrush stuff. I also do not varnish lol. My work goes behind glass when framed so it doesn't need it. These are all personal preference things though so other people may do things differently.
Fabulous video, love it……. Thank you
Thank you....:)

I don't do that many either as most people want dogs but glad you found it helpful..
Hello there, greetings from Northern Ireland. I mostly use charcoal myself, was never very good at painting, even in art college. Very nice work.
I enjoy charcoal also….
Wonderful Video. Could you tell me which colors you used for the first and second kitty ?
