Resuming the Lioness.

Arches 300gsm smooth paper. 45 x 35 cm

Just to recap on where I am at with the Lioness.  I am posting the last update.  It's back on the drawing board. I should get a little done today.
A large drawing for a nice change. Just mapping out getting some base working. The size when finished will be 45 x 35 cm plus the border on Arches smooth 300 gsm paper.

Hi Dors,

Wonderful start on the lion, the texture of the fur is coming through already. I'll be watching for the finished product.

Best to you,

Sue

Hi, I love your blog. You have wonderful pieces, so expressive! I am adding your link to my watercolor blog. We both show the steps of our work and I always stress to my students how important it is to be able to draw well in order to have good painting.
