This incredible bear is inspired by the Pinterest board of Whistlefish and the artist Jane Askey. Though admittedly it took a meandering mountain path to get here.
While seeking inspiration for today's challenge on Whistlefish, I got distracted by a beautiful drawing of a bear that also popped up in my feed. I used the bear as inspiration since I found it through the Whistlefish feed, but then I used the prompt of the artist Jane Askey, who has a board on the Whistlefish Pinterest site. The result was this amazing bear.
I then printed out the bear and hit the edges with Scorched Timber and Black Soot. I then used Distress Oxide spray in Scorched Timber to get a splatter effect. Finally, using a watercolor pen and Chroma Mist Tinsel Blue, I highlighted the water.
The image is layered on a dark brown from Park Lane.
Thanks for looking but don't get too close to the wild animals please.

The animals were here first....just saw the news story about some people picking up baby bears for photo ops. Hope mama scared them away. Sheesh. This is just beautiful art.
