@studio.alexamarie: A pet portrait, but I let the background have a personality too. 🐈‍⬛🎊 Another day of drawing my followers’ pets this time, a fellow artist’s cat. Meet Tony - @BalBal KaijuArts cute cat and check out her wonderful art too! For this one, I didn’t want the background to just sit quietly behind the cat. I wanted the colour, shapes and movement around her to become part of the portrait itself. The tricky part was keeping the cat as the focal point while still letting the background feel bold and alive. So I kept adjusting the balance between contrast, pattern and quieter areas until everything felt like it belonged together. Definitely one of the most colourful pet portraits I’ve made so far - and probably one of the most fun. 🤍 #oilpastel #petportrait #catart #colorfulart #traditionalart oil pastel art, cat portrait, pet portrait, colorful cat art, animal art, expressive background, maximalist art, colorful background, traditional art, painting my followers pets, fellow artist pet, vibrant art, pet painting, cat painting, animal portrait, mixed media art, bold colour, pattern art, expressive pet portrait, artist process, art reveal, whimsical art, handmade art, contemporary animal art
