Wildlife portraits are very special indeed. This one of the lion is no exception. The colour washes are subtle and I made use of the yellow/gold and purple combinations. I always try to enhance colour when I am painting. It does not mean that a painting has to be garish - one can still create a wonderfully harmonious balance using an unusual palette. I am secretly joined at the hip to winsor violet.

I think this is stunning. My husband walked by as I was looking over your blog and he really liked your work too. Very nice touch with the brush!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your wonderful feedback Margaret. I am working on some other wildlife paintings in oil and acrylic so hopefully I will have some work to post in the near future. You look very glamorous by the way.
