Above is my newest cat painting, which I painted 4 times - 1 is finished and 3 are still works in progress. Which one is your favorite? The finished one is for a tutorial I painted with beginners in mind. It's painted with very simple wet on dry technique on very beginner friendly Arches cold press paper.
