Today I'm showing you a portrait of a bear. You know that I love painting animals. This one is one of my favourites, because it allowed me to experiment with using the texture of the board to make the fur more interesting. I hope you like it too :)
"Portrait of a Bear", 17x23cm, oil on board
See you all next week!
Wow. My fingers just itch to bury themselves in that rich pelt.
ReplyDeleteSo did mine when I was painting it :) In fact I always feel as if I was stroking the furry animal with my brush when I'm painting one ;)
DeleteHi Marielle,
ReplyDeleteThe bear is gorgeous and so lifelike - your artwork is amazing.
Happy October
hugs

Thank you, Carolyn, I'm very happy you think so. The light on the fur was difficult to capture, but it turned out well in the end. I must say, I'm really proud of it :)
DeleteHappy October to you too!
I really like the bear! I'm glad you labeled it "oil" because I was wondering, and I don't have enough knowledge of art to know what I'm seeing.
ReplyDeleteI used the paint in an unconventional way, as if the painting was more like a drawing, so you were absolutely right to wonder about it, Terry. Anyway, I'm glad you like it. Have a great weekend!
DeleteThis bear you have painted looks like a happy bear. A very beautiful job as we run into bears all the time here in Eastern Canada. The fur is most life like and well done Marielle.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Saucy. I do admire bears, but I don't live anywhere near them, so I'm very happy to hear a compliment from someone who is more familiar with them. Anyway, take care when meeting any bears, Saucy, I know they can be dangerous. Have a lovely and safe weekend :)
DeleteDear Marielle - I do like your bear. What captures my eye is the light hitting his right side. Very beautiful. Hope you are having a great day.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debbie :) That's my favourite part too.
DeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
Oh I love the technique it is beautiful. B
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, I'm glad you like it :)
DeleteI love the bear! You are amazing. I really like the "King" too and the story. Your paintings are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Penny :) I love creating them, so it's really nice to know that you appreciate them.
DeleteHe's adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Em.
DeleteHave a great weekend!
I absolutely love this!! It's stunning! The texture really is gorgeous. Did you get that from using Gesso? :0)
