Watercolor Pet Portraits: Likeness, Composition & Costuming

Oh my goodness! Look how far you came just from the first to the second piece! Good work! The eyes on that second cat are so lifelike. Keep practicing. Watercolor is definitely a medium where you have to work in thin layers. You’ve got some great texture in both paintings too.

Hi,&nbsp;
I am starting to work with watercolour, and I feel I tend to overwork it. So I definitely need more practice. Image cover is my second work.&nbsp;
