🔹 MY ART - snow leopard - watercolor painting - process

in art •  7 years ago 

Hello friends, I made a new piece into my winter collection. It is not the firs time I painted snow leopard. This large cat is native to the mountains of Central and South Asia. The global population is estimated to number less than 9 thousand matures. That is why it is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

I used A4 paper this time, not A5 as usual. And this is the leopard painting I made 2 months ago. The style changed a little bit and there are more details now.

 

Thanks for watching!

Beautiful as always. You created this using imagination or follow a picture?

thank sou, I always use pictures :)

Very nice. Good job!

Man, that's really great. The details in the face really brought it off the page. You can almost feel the cold. I'm impressed.

thanks, I really appreciate it :)

Hi @marty-arts, you mentioned to me about techniques that you used to make the white fur stand out from the white background, and this was a perfect example of how you are able to achieve this! Does this mean that you are still working on another 'white' animal in your snow collection?

Hello :) I was looking for some photos with white animals, so its possible there will be some more paintings of this kind.. but I must say, I enjoy when there are also some darker parts so the snow looks nice on it and there is also a contrast :)

Good post!! Very nice!

nice work!
You should have a look at the Canadian wildlife artist Robert Bateman - he painted several images of the snow leopard - such as this one - decades ago, I copied this painting for a friend. It turned out pretty good, but it's not what I usually do, even though I had also copied a moose from him.
This was my copy of his snow leopard:
