Hello, Steemit!

I continue the theme of Christmas cards with rare species of animals for the competition from the World Wildlife Fund.
This time I chose a polar bear and changed the art materials to watercolor.
This is my stylized postcard.

First, I drew the contours with a pencil.

Started to paint with the background. Painted the sky with a purple hue, obtained by mixing kraplak red and ultramarine. With klaplak very clearly marked the glow of the northern lights in the sky. With ultramarine drew transparent shadows on the snow.

Passed to the central figure of a bear. For the coat color, I used the same purple color as in the sky. By fine strokes tried to show the direction of the hairs.

Similarly, painted over white cubs.

At the final stage, I drew the top of the sky with pure ultramarine, highlighted the bottom of the sky with a ceruleum, strengthened the detailing on the bears, added red and yellow reflexes to the picture from the glow in the sky. Picture is ready.

I added a congratulatory inscription on the picture. The postcard is ready.

Thank you for attention!
