Ali Canary Thanks! He received the painting today, actually, and he immediately messaged me to say how much he loved it. I was so happy!

Ali Canary @kaylachan - yes, especially tabbies because of the patterns as well as the different colors and tones. It's definitely been a challenge!

Ali Canary Yep! Haven't done a full painted portrait in years. I usually work in other media, like colored pencil, pastel, and graphite. Painting takes me forever, as you can tell by how far apart these posts are.

Hey All, I realized I hadn't wrapped this one up and that you might like to see it in its final form. I have added colored pencils to finish out the shading and details. I used a reference photo of a grizzly bear to make the color...

The photo has nothing to do with the post. It’s our national floral emblem – the wattle. I wrote in a response earlier today that I had gift tags ‘coming out my ears’. What a strange idiom this is. In case English isn’t your...

The next step in the illustration process was to establish the base colors with marker. The client had chosen specific colors for the bear's fur, the captain's jacket, breeches, boots, and hat, so it was really just a matter of...

Ali Canary Hey, sorry I didn't see this before! I'm not sure, but I imagine she will probably hang it up. It's not a very large piece (it's 11x14 inches), but large enough for hanging, especially after a mat and frame adds a few inches all around.

Ali Canary @anya12adwi - hmm, I think we're having a communication gap. I'm talking about carbonated soft drinks, just like you are. We just call it soda in my part of the country. I don't mean like baking soda or that.
