8/100 tiny painting challenge for 2026 (Patreon)

Painting 8 is a fuzzy cat! I love painting animals, especially cats, with the wet into wet technique. It allow the bleeds and blends to look like fuzzy hair if done just right. A few tips: make sure your cat color doesn't have too much water when you add it to the cat. This will help the color from spreading too far. Also, add the color to the inner side of the pencil sketch so that the paint can spread just slightly beyond it, creating the hair texture. I chose not to add a background so I could let the fuzzy hair bleeds shine on their own. I can't wait to see how you do with this one! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Paper: arches 140 lb cotton 9X12" paper that I've cut into 3X3" pieces, giving me 12 pieces per page.

Paint: For this project I am using a split primary palette- cad yellow deep, lemon yellow, cad red, magenta, ultramarine blue, cerulean, indigo and sap green. The colors I'm using today are -cad yellow, cad red, ultramarine blue, and perm rose.

Brushes: round 4 and 10 - Princeton brand.
