How To Paint Cat Eyes.

Eyes are the window to the soul, therefore they warrant so much more time than any other part of people or animals. I spend a great deal of time and effort to get the eyes just right and I have to tell you, the eyes are my favorite part of any painting. I love painting each layer until it achieves a realistic and captivating stare.

We are focusing on layering and glazing oil paint to create a glass-like look with great depth. In addition, you'll practice the following:

• Use of 3 mediums:
  • Galkyd
  • Neo Megilp
  • Solvent-Free Gel
• practice soft edges and hard edges to create three-dimensional objects even within the eyes
• evaluate how light carries through the eyes.

 

Through practical application, you'll gain practice using the following oil painting techniques:

• fat over thin
• glazing
• scumbling
• color theory 

The best way to learn any new skill is to learn-paint-repeat. Start your painting today.
