Realism and Character
As you can see from the portraits in our gallery, Nicholas hand paints each cat with care and attention to detail, blending realism with a traditional, painterly feel.
Light and shade are key to creating depth and form in our oil portraits, but the real magic lies in the eyes. Every cat’s gaze is different, and Nicholas focuses intently on capturing that unique look. It’s not just about getting the markings right, it’s about capturing your cat’s personality. From the subtlest tilt of the head to the tiniest shift in expression, it all plays a part in telling their story.
