Learn How to Paint GRUMPY CAT, CUTE KITTEN with Acrylic - Paint & Sip at Home - Step by Step Lesson
VIDEO DESCRIPTION - This painting tutorial will take you through easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to paint this whimsical seasonal winter image of "GRUMPY CAT, CUTE KITTEN" with acrylic paint. You'll learn simple drawing and painting techniques that will help you to create this festive illustrative animal portrait image with a not so happy feline dressed in a Santa Claus hat and ugly sweater, who is very disappointed that there is an adorable kitten sitting under the Christmas tree as a holiday present for the children in the house. Jolly Ole' Saint Nicholas has delivered a gift that will, in time, make the old crabby cat have a smile on his face. With a tender sweet expression on the small kitten's face as he peeks his head out of the box, the long-haired confused and irritated pussycat grimaces in disgust like a Grinch would. Surrounded by sparkly Christmas tree lights and bright red wrapping paper, the little new pet has a glow about him and an innocent twinkle in his eyes. This adorable illustration of two funny felines can be customized to represent your favorite animal, like a dog, bunny, guinea pig, turtle, or maybe a toy, an elf, or a snowman. You could even put them outside in a snow storm with fluffy snowflakes falling from the sky, or paint stars and the moon to light up the cold winter night with snow on the ground. You'll learn how to create dimension in the shape of the faces, hat, present and fur using highlights and shadows to create form, perspective and depth. You'll also learn how to create realistic looking eyes and expressions that show emotion with an easy layering process. Use your imagination and customize this fun image with holiday ornaments, a wreath, or some garland... just have fun with it! With a creative take on a holiday fairytale narrative, you'll be able to paint this image that will be a little magical and realistic at the same time, making for a beautiful painting to decorate your home for the winter holiday season. Using only 3 brushes and 6 colors we'll create this charming conversational masterpiece with a festive holiday flare and an enchanting, adorable, sweet set of fur babies meeting for the first time, showing us that change can come at any time whether we are expecting it or not.
