What the client wants the client gets! My latest commission is a snowscape scene and is one of my favourites to paint. However, the client asked for some wolves and an elk to be added and thus posed quite a challenge, not least because I find it hard to paint animals!
Painting wolves and an elk in the snow
The trick here was to try to convey some dynamic movement rather than simply paint static animals. I tried to achieve this by deliberately not painting the animals in fine detail. Instead, I kept my brush strokes very light and rough.
