Painting I
Ben Thiel "Grizzly Painting"
9x12, Painting, 2022
My idea was a grizzly bear. I got my idea because there has been no painting of a grizzly bear.
I used paintbrushes, paint, and a water marker.
I wanted to paint a grizzly bear because I like bears. I want them to know that I like to paint animals.
The most difficult part was filling in the white lines that I missed. I used more paint to fill in any blank spots. I would change it to a different bear.
The style is realistic. I use light sources to trace. I love the dark colors because they look like shadows.
