Snow Leopard Tutorial - intermediate to advanced (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how I painted this snow leopard using wet on wet washes to create the fur.

After that, I use creamy dark paint to form the spots, allowing the edges to soften into the surrounding fur. We’ll gradually build the painting with a combination of loose washes, layering and carefully placed details to bring this gorgeous animal to life.

All of the files you need to complete the painting are attached below, including 13 progress photos. You’ll also see these throughout the tutorial, making it easy to pause the video and compare your progress with mine as you paint.

I hope you enjoy it and I look forward to seeing your paintings.

Louise
