Art - Ghost Lion- oil painting
A step by step process of a lion head painting on a canvas panel from sketch through to the final picture. I wanted to try and paint what a ghost lion would resemble likening it to something along the nice side of a spirit that would travel on the winds protecting the last of its kind. I consider how these poor beasts have been unfairly hunted down to the near end of their existence. Wild and free!!!
