This cat watercolour tutorial will teach you how to add whiskers to any pet portrait or animal paintings.
I have taken the footage from a video on how to paint a kitten but the watercolour techniques that you will learn can be used for adding fine whiskers or hairs to any animal painting. The whiskers can often make or break an animal painting, there is only really one opportunity to get it right, so I hope this video will give you the confidence to put those all important finishing touches to your cat paintings and other pet portraits.
If you like painting cats can I suggest you try this video next: https://youtu.be/B7NLfBcN3qM which is a LIVE paint along on painting a cat's eye in realistic detail.
