The first painting of 2016 is done and dusted!
After completing "Duel' last month, I've really wanted to continue painting 'action' scenes with a lot of movement and dynamism.
A Cheetah in chase was an obvious choice. This originally started with a bit of an experiment with a new set of watercolour pencils. But as I filled out the face and started to work on the body in motion, I began to overlay the watercolour with pastels - helping to give more texture to the fur.
Here's a quick video showing the stages in the painting's development:
