Beary Grizzly

another painting for another coworker/friend that left to get educated. she loves grizzly bears and color and this is what came out of it. i dig it a lot. this is my first bear painting and it was extremely difficult. so much fur. watercolors + fur = not easy. it was hard to get details without getting too detailed. very difficult. but overall, i like it a lot. it was a good experience and my friend loved it a lot as well. 

18 hours. 
winsor & newton watercolors.
black and white india ink.
14" x 18" watercolor paper stretched over stretcher bars.
