Pallas Cat

The Pallas cat is a small wild cat from central Asia.  They have an unusual look with a squarish head, and have a thick coat because they live in a cold climate. Unfortunately their species is considered threatened.  This painting was done in India ink on a mat board. It measures approximately 11” x 14”.

Almost filled in

I’ve filled in all the base coats besides the other eye now. This snow leopard is looking great! It is interested to see it at this stage where you can see the step process as you go across the piece. You can see me work on this piece live on Sept. 11 @utahstatefair in the fine art building. I look forward to seeing some of you!

Shadows forming

Finally some formation to make him look less like a blob. I started putting in the shadows and getting formation of stripes started. He is starting to look much better, though he sure has a lot of hair. Such a fluffy cat! #wildlifeartist #wildlifeart #fluffycat
