Work in Progress: Winter Fox Part 2

Welcome to part 2 of my Winter Fox painting! 

I'm working on a title. 

If you haven't seen part 1 make sure to scroll down to check that out or use the links to the side so you can see how the painting has already progressed.

So now that the holly and ivy has been roughed out I work in some of the details into it such as the shadows and veins and not forgetting the reflections as holly leaves are pretty glossy as well as the berries.

After that we finally get to work on the fox. Hurrah! I'm using the paint pretty thin here to position elements of the painting as well as the general flow of the fur. You can also see some blues and greys have been added onto the leaves and berries, this is to be the base for some snow that still remains caught in the bush. I also did a lighter wash on to the ivy leaves to blend the veins in more.

Stay tuned for the next update tomorrow!
