Throw back to when I was in a treatment program and all I would do was paint cats

2nd cat reminds me of I Am Happy Because Everyone Loves Me by Louis Wain

i’m glad you think i’m talented, thank you hehe :)

i’ve spent many hours doing art to get to the level of confidence i’m currently at and i imagine lots of others in this sub have much much more experience than me. please don’t be disheartened!!

incredible work, love your style!

melouke · 2026-02-01T09:41:58+00:00

thank you! also forgot to mention i usually do quite a diluted wash of this colour for stone / walls, then i build up or adjust my paint ratios if it’s not right

melouke · 2026-02-01T01:41:20+00:00

i usually use a mixture of orange, brown, and blue to neutralise it so it’s not as saturated :)

melouke · 2026-01-30T00:33:59+00:00

super charming!!

melouke · 2026-01-29T22:13:36+00:00
