just finished my painting from class last thursday... this is a mountain lion... he's done very loosely except for his eyes and nose.. the rest is lots of wet in wet and mushing the paint.. so not to get too many hard lines...

after i finished i took colbolt blue and put it over the whole left side, so its appears to be in the shade.. hope it worked..

check out wonderful links on here and tom tiedeman.. hes the teacher and he has lots of great demos on his site!!
