Learn How to Oil Paint Cats

Well, here is our newest challenge!  A lovely photo of Grace's two cats having a cuddle in the laundry basket.  I find animals the easiest to paint as they don't have to look exactly like the subject (unlike a portrait of someone), they can vary in colour a great deal, and hair can be very forgiving. 

So here's the drawing.  The faces are the most important part of the painting, so just make sure the eyes, nose and mouth are in the right spot and are the right size and distance from each other.
