How to Draw, Paint and Embellish Cute Cats in Watercolor - Easy Step by Step Tutorial for Beginners

In all my watercolor tutorials, I show you a simple painting for beginners in detail and in real time. By painting along you will learn all the techniques you need to create amazing art. Your watercolor skills will improve quickly when you practice these easy paintings! Whether you want to paint bookmarks, greetings cards, embellishments for junk journals, gifts or ambitious landscapes, you’ll gain confidence and experience by trying my projects.
Today’s project is a relaxed step-by-step exploration of the process of drawing, painting and embellishing whimsical cats. We’re going to practice our sketching and our wet-in-wet watercolor technique, and then immerse ourselves in the calming and meditative process of embellishing these two cute cats with pen and watercolor pencil doodles.
