Emily-Rose Alcock Art

I adore playing with colour, especially with watercolour using a wet on wet technique because it’s spreads and blends in beautiful shapes.

Today I wanted to create an illuminated Tokyo Street scene featuring a stray cat.

This is one of those paintings where I got to play, to push myself out of my comfort zone and just give something a go.

I feel really happy with the finished result. Unintentionally the cat has this expression of ‘Don’t mess with me!’ 🤣

I masked out the cat first to maintain what would later become highlights. I then wet the background and wiped my brush through two colours at a time for some of the light boxes that feature in the painting to make it interesting.
