The thing about painting these cats is that they're so darn grumpy, they make you laugh! Painting grumpy cats in ink is SO MUCH FUN, and it's QUICK and EASY, and then you pop some eyes on and Ta-Da! you've got a grumpy cat!

So grab your ink, and gather every bit of crafty festive stuff you've got stashed away, and come and paint cats with me!

This is what we'll do:

Step 1: Paint the shape of the cat with water. Quick and easy!

Step 2: Play with ink... drop it into the water and let it do its glorious thing!

Step 3: Paint white blobs for the eyes.

Step 4: Add eye details in black ink with your dip pen. Add some squiffy triangles for noses, and a grumpy mouth, and all of a sudden you'll have a gloriously grumpy cat!

Step 5 is festive party time: grab all the glitter and sparkles you've got lying around, and dress up your cats with Santa hats. MORE IS MORE!! Then make them into unique holiday cards and delight someone special by sending it to them! You can do step 5 with craft supplies or you can add the Santa hats in Procreate. Both are fantastically fun ways to get in the mood for the holidays!

You will learn:

That painting cats is easier than you think
That ink is the most fun medium on the entire planet
That yes you can do eyes
That line and brush can complement each other, so that weird is wonderful, kooky is cool, and odd is awesome!

But don't just do this on your own... get some friends over, or gather your kids, put music on, and have a grumpy cat party! Happy holidays!
