#133 – King of the Forest

This piece is all about the intensity of the wolf’s entrancing eyes and unwavering stare. I created this portrait to embody the fierce spirit of the wolf and to provoke emotion in the viewer. Almost like an apparition, this wolf appears seemingly out of nowhere, its piercing eyes and face are the first to break the camouflage of its environment. The dense coat is detailed in linework of graphite grey, mars yellow and titanium white pigments; the vibrant eyes are rich in naples yellow.
