African leopard
By Henk Prinsloo
More warmth and contrast is needed. The darker areas become darker and the lighter areas need to be lighter. The body of the object gets a glazing layer of burnt umber and vermillion red. Mix the paint with some oil medium to make it transparent. This creates a glaze that you paint over the entire lower body. This will allow the previous layer to shine through. For lighter areas, add some yellow ochre and a hint of white to the mix.
Make the light areas on the face lighter in value by adding white to the canvas. Mix the white with yellow ochre and medium to make it transparent.
