    tabby cat portrait oil painting by Leanne Wildermuth
    I’ve completed ACE’s portrait today, this is a digital pic of him (caution: wet paint!). I’ll get a scan once the painting is dry.

    You can see his previous work in progress here, with the under painting beside the photo.

    Tabby cats are always interesting painting because they have salt & pepper fur that can be a challenge to paint! I start first going over the under painting with a dark tone, followed by a creamy tone, then further enhance the darks. I worked in the warm whites and then completed the painting by going over and painting in all the whitest furs and whiskers – only this time I did a little fancy signature, where I painted my sig before the whiskers, then painted whiskers “through” my sig and one whisker lying on the top. I thought that would give it more dimension.

    Would you like your own custom painting? This 4″ x 4″ custom portrait in oil is just $55 in my shop! Order yours today!

    I hope you have a great weekend! I’ll be working in the garden, grilling, and gardening s’more!

    I wanna be able to do this kind of artistry when I grow up…
    This looks like a smaller canvas which means more challenging.
