Paint a Whimsical Watercolor Cat with Sparkles - Adorable Vintage Kitty in Just Minutes

Join me on Patreon   / dianeantonestudio  
Today I’m going to show you how to paint a cute watercolor kitty cat in a really game-changing way. This video is for everyone who loves watercolor painting or loves our feline friends. I’ll demonstrate a whimsical and fun technique which will help you create a painting ideal as a little gift or a greetings card for any cat lover. No worries about drawing - you can download the sketch of this cat and many others from our website - so let’s get started on the fun!

If you enjoyed our Blobby Bird video from a few months ago, you’ll recognise this technique. He has been so popular I couldn’t resist offering you a kitty cat done in a similar way. Hope you enjoy this one as much as the Bird!    • For years I thought I was doing watercolor...

About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Maestro Series (black and Gold handles) and the Golden Nylon Series 11-2 (red and white handles) and I use sizes 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/prod...
