Paint this cute furry Tri-Colored Kitten: Create Highlights by Lifting and Using Negative Space.

In this tutorial, we present "How to Paint a Tricolored Kitten" with expert watercolor artist Vanda Lavar. This video is designed to help you understand the intricacies of fur painting, color blocking, and layering. Vanda will guide you through the properties of watercolors and show you how to use a neutral-based charcoal watercolor to create a grise wash, a technique used as a base for oil painting. Vanda will demonstrate how to establish the dark side of the kitten's face, painting with dry brush techniques and layering with glazes to create fur texture. She will also show you how to use liquid frisket to preserve the brightest highlights of the painting. You will learn to keep track of shapes, maintain accurate shadow shapes, and use a dedicated brush to preserve the brightness of the kitten's blue eyes. You're in good hands with Vanda, who is an award-winning watercolorist and was mentored by renowned wildlife artists like Carl Brenters and Leslie Harrison. Get your supplies, and join Vanda as she teaches you how to paint a tricolored kitten, step-by-step.
