The skin on a hairless cat is gorgeous to paint

The skin on a hairless cat is gorgeous to paint. A hairless cat was my "way in" to painting animals in the first place. I thought "I paint people and I'm familiar with skin. How about we change the anatomy and explore different colors?" So I painted a hairless cat, fell in love, and the rest is history! Painting animals is the biggest joy in my life (outside of physically being around them and loving on my furry babies). I ADORE painting your animals and am grateful every day you share them with me and allow me to capture a moment of them in paint for you ♥️♥️
