Cats & Kittens in Acrylics - 9781844487165

Cats and kittens are an endlessly popular subject for animal lovers and artists alike, and this book provides the ideal starting point for anyone wishing to produce beautiful acrylic paintings of these exquisite creatures. Julie Nash's style brings the cats in this book to life, capturing their different personalities: playful black kittens, an elegant Siamese, a ginger tabby, and more. There are five beautiful projects, each accompanied by a full-size tracing of the initial drawing, so those with limited drawing skills or who simply wish to get straight to painting can easily transfer the drawing to watercolor paper. There are more than 200 step-by-step photographs and easy-to-follow instructions with a complete list of the brushes and paint colors used. In addition to the projects, there are four more finished paintings to inspire the reader, one of which also has a full-sized tracing. An ideal introduction to painting cats and kittens in acrylics, and there is plenty to appeal to the more experienced artist too.
