Continue painting the cat blue, allowing the paint to migrate down the paper using gravity.Hold paper upside down so that the blue drips and mingles towards the body. With BLUE paint, start painting a LINE of color along the bottom of the cat.With a brush, touch the blue paint and dip into water so the clear water has a tint of blue.With a white crayon, trace carefully along the outside of the black marker line.Focus on drawing two ears, a head, a long neck, hunched shoulders, simple paws and a long, curvy tail. Use the drawing handout as a guide to draw a contour line of a simple cat.
