Painting Cuddles

Siamese Cuddles

There’s nothing nicer than sharing a cuddle with your best friend. These two siamese cats are enjoying a warm nap together and I couldn’t resist painting them.

The Painting Process

They’ve been painted in acrylics on watercolour paper with a series of loose glazed layers which gives lots of subtle colours and tones. Have a look at the close up detail of the fur in front of the ear below. There are lots of soft shades of gold, cream, pink, green, blue and brown.
