Description

Painting Process:

For the “Calen the Cat” painting, my process includes several steps. I begin with a sketch that I develop into a finished drawing using wax based archival colored pencils, and graphite. Next the drawing is scanned, then printed out at a low opacity onto hot press watercolor paper. Now the painting begins! Watercolor is the first layer to establish the mood, tones, and color scheme. Then I shift back and forth between oil based colored pencils and gouache to refine and render the painting. I strive to select vibrant and archival pigments throughout my process. Check out my listing photos to see examples of the paints, brushes, and other materials I used!

“Calen the Cat” Painting Story:

“Calen is a lovable and precocious cat that loves to go on adventures! It’s a big world of magic out there for such a wee beast, but Calen is very skilled at exploring the buried places of  wonder within the hidden spaces of Terratoff!

Today he has stumbled upon an enchanted flower bed. He listens intently as the flowers speak to him. Their soft voices are so quiet and ethereal that many believe that flowers cannot speak at all. But Calen knows better! He may be just a small beast, but even the smallest of beings can tune into secret magic others are too busy to notice.”
