Hey there, paw-some artists! If youâre reading this blog, chances are you have a pet of your own and/or an avid animal lover but either way, we can all agree that we love drawing our pets because it brings a personal touch to our work. Our furry friends have unique personalities and capturing that on canvas is both a challenge and a joy. Plus, drawing your cat means you get to immortalize those cute, quirky moments forever. In todayâs blog, I will be introducing you to two super quick and easy tutorials on how to draw your feline friends. Let us help you sharpen your artistic chops and in no time, youâll be making your own cat portraits!

In this tutorial, weâre focusing on creating a stunning oil paint effect of a Maine Coon cat. Maine Coons are known for their majestic fur and expressive eyes, making them a fantastic subject for your next art piece.Â
To get started, you will be provided with our very own Freya Oil Paint Sampler Brushes to play around with this tutorial. Weâll guide you through each step, from sketching the initial outline to adding those realistic fur textures. This tutorial is perfect for artists who want to explore the rich, textured feel of oil painting without all the mess of a traditional medium.
