Shadow of the Woods
Canvas Print
As I paint the black bear, I am struck by the rugged beauty and strength of this magnificent animal. I focus on capturing the bear's thick fur and muscular body, with its intense gaze conveying a sense of power and intelligence.
In the background of the painting, I include subtle pine needles, creating a sense of the bear's natural habitat. The needles create a sense of depth and perspective, with the branches of the trees providing a sense of scale and perspective.
The bear's eyes are a particular focus for me, as I strive to capture the soulful, almost human quality of their gaze. The fur on the bear's back and shoulders is also a focus, as I work to create a sense of texture and movement, with each hair seemingly alive and vibrating with energy.
