This month we will learn how to use watercolor paint to create a cat painting inspired by traditional Medieval art.

You can use acrylic paint, but as acrylic paint is a modern type of painting medium, Michele will use watercolors as it was a medium used during the Medieval period of history (500 AD - 1500 AD).  This painting was inspired by a piece found in a manuscript.
