Paul Klee's "Cat and Bird"

Paul Klee was a Swiss-born artist. In his highly individual style, he painted reality in his own way. He was inspired by what he saw but he didn't always draw and paint objects exactly as he saw them. And he loved cats!

For this lesson, we'll be using Paul Klee's "Cat and Bird" artwork for inspiration - a simple, abstract drawing of a cat with lots of fun, bright color and pattern. Paul Klee loved color!

The lesson is a simple directed draw but you can add plenty of creativity with the color and pattern of your cat - that's where your work can really shine!
