Found a fat gold frame in the second hand store. Filled it with a polar bear! The fanart inspiration hasn't been there for a bit so I'm doing some fur therapy. Oil on canvas

This is absolutely amazing work, Sofia. You can feel that pelt, the detail is incredible. And the background sets it off perfectly. Fat gold frame works beautifully. 👏👏👏👏
Thank you Izzie! Though, to be honest, it's more grey in real life. The camera picked up the blues a lot more for some reason. I decided not to use any black at all in this. All the dark bits are raw umber with either phthalo blue or ultramarine. Possibly burnt umber in the bg, I don't remember 😅
I usually let it dry for about a week before I varnish. I'm cheap so no thick paint layers usually😅. Sometimes I mix in alkyd to have it dry faster, but not this time since I usually can't work more often than Friday and a little on the weekend anyway
