"Snow Leopard - Painting a LARGE canvas"
Page 1 of 4

Stage 1

Preparing the canvas etc has been covered extensively in other articles, so lets jump straight in with the oil paints. The canvas has been given a light tone (burnt Sienna) to work on top of, I have lightly drawn in the basic structure of the cat, including the spots. I then began to paint in the very dark areas. A snow leopard has LOTS of spots and it is these spots that really create the shape of the face and body, so as you can imagine it is essential to get their shape and placement correct, right at the start, and that is why I like to put them in now.
