Today I am in the mood to paint a black cat.... Working on it now.
I have already titled it " Midnight Blew"
What I now know so far that works for me:
1.Warm up by doing several pencil sketches first ( warm up my eyes and get the creative mojo going!
2. Squint at reference photo or live subject to see where the light is coming from
3. Use a bad photo get a bad painting.
4. Apply paint in as few as 3 to 4 strokes ... One or two gets me the best results that I am looking for.
5. Shadows should always be correct in size and cast shadows
