So for this part I would need a bigger brush. I will also prepare the mix that I will use will be or Sienna with a little bit of formatting but still Oceana should be dominating. might also add a bit of violet. It's too much. So I need more formatting. All right.

I think this will be enough. First I need to wet the area, the fair here. Then I'm taking my nature brush. And buy some hair in some places it's darker, some places is lighter. It's entirely up to you. You don't really need to make a copy of the photo.

It's really not. It's not useful in the first place. Nobody's going to check how exactly the first cat was lying down. Just our job to make it look like AFER. should be soft. That's why we are working on the wet surface using that to my technique.

Be ready that the paper might buckle up. If your paper got dry in some places, just feel free to add more water as you go. Shadow wet paper allows you to move layers longer and change the directions and also make the feather further. Sorry for the furthermore soft and realistic then We move to a adding a little bit of our original color, detail and red in my case, but I mix it with the blue and purple, so it's slightly darker. I would remind you that this place we are painting right now the body of the cat is not as bulky first, it's not so detailed. And it's darker because it's not the focal point of our painting.

And I want our viewers to look at the face of the cat and not be distracted on anything Else plus because the hat comes first, when we look at the cat from some height the cat naturedly cuts had literally drop shadow on the body. That's why the body is a little bit darker than the face. All this we need to count in in order to create a realistic painting of the cat here as well if you want to make this part softer to recreate the firm You might blend a little bit disbarred. Make sure that your strokes are not too visible, not too dark, not too distracting your attention. I mean Jackson a little bit of Cadmium Yellow, just far more interesting effect. Now while this layer is still wet, I would like to lift the pigment in some places to recreate this some curly parts of the fur.

I think here in this area should be slightly darker And in order to make a darker you need to increase the density of your pigment which means that it's not that you add more dark colors to your mix but more they can have a sticker pigment to increase the density. Okay think it's enough Don't No need to overdo it. And another important moment is to remember that the cat's body is not just here It also acts in the back. So there is some tail and you know the rest of the body. So we need to show it as well and I wet this area first. Then I take my detailed read that I was using in the beginning as the color of the fur.

I add some more drama in blue to make it darker and on that area. I am adding the layer for the rest of the body of the cat and its tail And I don't want to leave it awkwardly hanging there. I want to kind of add some background. So my background will be mix of blue and green. And I also allow colors to blend so that the rest of the body is out of focus. This also allows me to make more specific here, over here.

Maybe get a little bit inside and follow all the way down. I think this background is nicely reflecting the color of the eye. So it balances nicely And in the meantime I'm changing to a smaller brush and I just want to to check to make a different concentration in different places. So somewhere it's a bit darker somewhere it's lighter, especially in the places close to the farm. So I want to delete the edge of the for some blue here. I diluted the edge I make the ferry looking more fluffy and soft and I kind of bring this color of the background inside the for basically creating the shape the outline of the body of the guide here I wanted to transition to be less noticeable so I'm kind of went in in the back of the cat Alright, I think now we are almost done.

The final little tiny thing left are the whiskers that we are going to paint with the pen token I found a mistake that I need to fix right now. This white places they should be diluted The hunt should be fluffy. So I'm diluting the edge of the cat over here making it more fluffy and also to differentiate it from the back. All right now we need to wait until this is absolutely fully dry so that then we can finish our painting. Bye In the final last white elements
