In this video I'll share some tips and techniques I used when painting this cat in acrylics. Painting realistic fur in acrylics is all in how we layer. Building up depth gradually with these layers will create a more photo realistic painting.

You are an awesome artist, this cat is gorgeous!
Thank you so much ❤️
You have answered so many of my questions, I'm from an airbrush background and glad to see how you use the airbrush along side acrylics. What a wonderful painting keep up the great work
Thank you so much :. So pleased to hear it was useful :)
I feel so fortunate to have found you. I've always felt disorganized in my pet paintings. I've started working the sections, as you do, and it has done wonders for my time and redoing things over and over. Still getting good results but now I feel the results are great! Thank you from the bottom of my brush!
I'm so pleased to hear the tutorials are helpful. Thank you for such kind feedback
Absolutely fantastic and I habl he done call kinds of sales in art shows so I really can see talent
I'm going to join your Patreon because I'm now addicted to your vids! I took up pastels a year ago and love it, and more people are asking for me to do their pets, but the dust isn't so good for me. I've found your acrylic videos and they are amazing on these free vids so I'm going to take acrylics up again and can't wait to see the full ones!

Hi. When talking about your fine details in the fur, did you say you used a "rake brush"? I looked up your brand of brushes and saw nothing with that name. I would really like to know. I cannot get those fine lines with the tiny brushes I've used. Thank you!
I want to paint a cat like this one soon!
Awesome painting of the cat Zara, totally enjoyed watching the video. What type of brush you used for blocking before adding the details? Thank you again.
Thank you so much =). I'll either use a filbert or a larger round for my base layers. I prefer smaller brushes for the base layers because I think we have more of e tendency to rush the base layer when using larger sizes. We have a tendency to then block in more of a solid colour and not follow the reference photo as closely.
@@zaratomsart Thank you very much for sharing
@@rikerwilliams8209 no problem, happy to help =)
Zara, I browse Daler & Rowney brushes but cannot find the brush that you used in the video that has comb-like edge at the tip of the brush. What is the name of that brush? I wish to get one because it looks good painting animal hair. Thanks.
I want to be able to paint like you, BUT more importantly, i want to have the cat :)
What brand was the rake brush ?
Hola, amo tu obra, me ayudaria que habitarán subtítulos en español.
Hi Zara love your beautiful acrylic paintings could you tell me what Number your smallest brush is for fine hairs thankyou
Thank you =). It depends what type of detail I need to create. How fine the lines need to be vs how long they need to be. I'll use a Winsor & Newton short detailed brush or a short Daler & Rowney rigger/liner brush. Any of that shape will work. Its not always the brush that just makes the difference. It's also about the right consistency of paint vs water =). Trial and error initially.
Hi Zara I forgot to ask you do you let your paints dry between layers
Not always, it depends on what effect I need to create. Wet on wet blending is a brilliant technique and I use that many many times on the body. Where as the face the layers were usually dry before I'd apply the next. Depends on the situation, fur texture etc =)
la realisation est parfaite, on dirait mon chat bouboule, mais on n'y comprend rien!!! un tuto pour expliquer!!!deçu mais c'est bien
Amazing pet portrait. I do enjoy watching it. love the details. A year ago, there was a reply of yours to a subscriber, @joyellis3354 : " It's also about the right consistency of paint vs water " I do not understand what it means. Can you give a bit more explanation? Thanks.
