Let’s Paint Blobby Cats — 11 Whimsical Cat Ideas in Loose Watercolor and Ink Just For Fun!

Join me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Today I’m feeling like painting something blobby, and it’s going to be cats! The older I get the less I seek perfection in my paintings. Or maybe it’s just my reaction to the so-called perfection of AI. But more and more what brings me joy and peace is a brush-full of juicy paint on a friendly familiar piece of watercolor paper. And the time to watch the pigment move and explore the paper. So let’s dive into our blobby cats.
