Realism

 My idea was to incorporate my cat Tristan into a painting and i was going to make him stand out. I had seen something like this on pintrest and i thought it would be cool to make. My process was to paint my base  a plain color. Then i sketched everything out and i did the mountains first. then i did the snow, then trees, and lastly the cat. For the fur texture i used a thin brush and used many different shades of greys for the little hairs. For the the mountainous i also tried to make very skinny likes down the mountains for the cracks of the mountains.  The artwork does not really have a meaning it just is my cat in the middle of the snow with a pretty scenery. The most difficult part was the mountains because they have lots of little details. If i could start over i would try to find a way to make the snow more detailed. The style of this art is definitely realism. This is unique to my style becuase i am a big cat person. I love the details on the fur and i also like the trees and mountians.
