Work in Progress: Winter Fox Part 6

It's time for Part 6 of my Winter Fox painting. I suggest checking out the previous stages if you haven't already seen them this week.

Alright.. ready?

Here we go!

Now we're really going to bring in the winter sun and add bright white details to the brush and honey warmth to the body of the fox. But before that it's time to finish the head by adding the last of the fur around the cheek and the last whiskers in the shadow.

Using my finest brush I add littke fur details in the body along with broader sweeps of colour onto the hind leg. I did omit the details of a couple of holly leaves until now on the left-most twig so have filled them in.

I've also started on the foreground. It's just going to be of snow so I've added a mixture of dark blue and purpley tones in the shadowy areas so I can start adding the lighter tones later.

See you Friday for the next step!
