A Wolf's Stare

The first of a series of paintings which I will be exhibiting in the summer. This painting is painted in gouache on A3 watercolour paper. I chose this image as the wolf gives such a powerful presence with such wonder in his eyes. This was also a great piece to work on my fur technique. I used a series of layers of brush stokes, then blurring the layers and then layering over again to give even more depth, I really liked the technique, much more time involved but worth it.
