Step-by-Step Oil Painting: Capturing a Male Fox and His Pup

Painting name: Pure Joy
Painting size: 24” x 36” x 1.5”
Oil on cotton canvas
This is my second animal painting. While there’s still much to figure out, especially when it comes to making the fur look realistic, I’m pleased with how the painting turned out. I find that one of the most challenging aspects of painting animals is capturing their soul and conveying their emotions. Though I have a lot more to learn, this painting is a great start for many more to come. Join me on this journey as I continue to explore and improve my skills in animal painting!
About me:
As a self-taught artist, I have always had a passion for drawing, especially with pencils during my younger years and throughout high school. However, as life took its course, I drifted away from painting, longing to return but unsure of where to begin. Then, in July 2023, I made a pivotal decision to invest in high-end colored pencils and quality papers, hopeful that starting with small drawings would offer solace amidst life's challenges. Little did I know that this journey would reignite my passion for painting, allowing me to rediscover the joy and fulfillment it brings to my life.
