Lion Painting

In the forum I belong to - Painting Friends - Cindi posted a photo we could all use as a basis for a painting.

The photo was taken in the Wildlife Animal Park in San Diego.

This series will follow how I made the painting, step by step.

I hope you enjoy it.

First off, a drawing, complete with masking (the blue line) to stop any paint running onto the lion when I paint the rocks in a loose and runny fashion.


Then I paint the under wash for the rocks, using various colours to capture the feeling of the coloured rock.

    Yes, Pat, thank you for sharing. It is so interesting to see how an artist develops a painting.

    This is fascinating Pat. Love the way the lion
    seems to be sheltering beneath a 'blue blanket' at this stage.
