For this weeks continuation of, What’s on Your Board, we’ll be featuring the ever popular, Kitty cat. Cats are a must have at any and every gig I do. I’ll show you a super simple cat and another more detailed cat. So let’s get started!
Here’s what you’ll need:
Simple Cat
- Mehron Paradise Face Paints – White
- Wolfe Face Paints – Black
- Ruby Red Eight Color Petal Sponge
- Loew-Cornell® Gold Grip #4 Round Brush
Detailed Cat
- Paradise Face Paints – White
- Wolfe Face Paints – Black
- Global Body Art Rainbow Split Cake
- TAG 1 Stroke Split Cakes – Stargazer
- Ruby Red Eight Color Petal Sponge
- Silly Farm Paint Pal Pretty Petal Brush
- Loew-Cornell® Gold Grip #4 Round Brush
The Application:
We’ll start with the simple cat. (You can also leave the white out completely if you are super crunched for time and just do the outline.) Load your sponge with white and sponge in the eyes, cat ears, nose and muzzle.
Load your #4 Round Brush with Wolfe Black and outline the eyelid adding teardrops to the side of each eye. Outline the cat ears and connect them with cat fur in between. Paint in a little heart cat nose and the center mouth line.
Finally, outline the muzzle and add whiskers. I added three little dots under each eye for extra cuteness.
Let’s move on to the more detailed cat.
Load your sponge with white and sponge in the eyes, cat ears, nose and muzzle. Load your sponge with your Rainbow cake. For my cat, I made sure to put one main color on the cat (red/pink), then I laid the entire sponge on the design to add the rest of the rainbow colors.
Load your #4 Round Brush with Wolfe Black and begin outlining exactly as you would for the simple cat.
Continue by adding teardrops next to the muzzle. I always put 2-3 teardrops next to the muzzle and also by the eyes.
After adding the teardrops, paint in the cat fur on each side of the design.
Add your nose, center muzzle line and whiskers. Load your Petal brush with your Stargazer fun stroke, keeping the dark pink at the tip of the brush. Gently press 5 petals in a flour shape at the top and cheek area of the design. With the same brush, load it with dark pink from your fun stroke and add a little lip stick.
Load your #4 Round Brush with the yellow from your rainbow cake and add the center of the flowers. You will also paint yellow under the eyes and add a little yellow highlight on each side of the nose. I also added some cute yellow dots along each whisker.
Load your #4 Round Brush with green from your rainbow cake and paint in the leaves for your flowers.
Check back with us next week for another must have design. Be sure to let us know what you would like to see in future blogs and be sure to share your designs with us on Facebook.
Until next time… Live, Love, Paint.
