So now for our third cat, I drew the long hair template, I put the eyes in and after I put the eyes in, I drew the round part of the eyes. So I just made little lines here to indicate that for the eyeball. So I'm going to start here. I'm going to mix my color first, and I'm going to take water or my palette and then some yellow ochre. And I'm going to mix this with a little of the Van Dyck Brown. So I want more of a cool color than we used in our orange cat.

Then I'll rinse my brush, and I'm going to put water on my palate with my brush. I'm going to do the ears. I'm going to avoid the eyes and I'm going to avoid the entire nose. I'm going to make like a triangle from in between the eyes all the way down. So I'm going to just kind of wet the left and the right hand side of the paper avoiding the whole middle area area. I'm going to switch to my smaller brush, my number four brush, I'll pick up some of this pigment.

And starting on the left hand side, I'm just going to create my first layer. So I'm just going to drop in the pigment, creating the shape of the long haired face. And then just adding some splotches of color. Again, not worrying about filling in the entire image. I do want to go right around the eyes and pull that color up and right below the eyes and pull it down. Come over here, do the same thing on this side of the face.

Create my outline Go around my eye and then just deposit some pigment. Switch to my smallest brush while I'm here. Make a little puddle of water and make an even lighter tone of that same color remixed. And I'm just going to create the outline underneath on the areas that we left dry and I'm just going to put in a little bit of brushstrokes, kind of all heading down diagonally from the center. I'll do the same thing up here. When I have that, I'll put some more water on my brush and just lighten up that color we put down and I'll let this layer completely dry.
