Default mama and baby bear painte

Well, I'm not much of a painter so you know. Iused charcoal for the fur antique wht for the apron and tangerine for the muzzle. Then I mixed about a 1/4 inch burnt umber with 1/2 linseed oil put that on and wiped it off. Well, let me know what you think.

Thanks Forrest, after I sent in the pics I put some Howareds Feed and wax on it and I think it brought the colors out even more.

Forrest is absolutely correct! That paint job really set the bears off. And it really makes that apron pop. Excellent detail on the apron. Us bear connoisseurs are in "bear" aggreement that you should be nominated for President of the "International Bear Carricature Carving Club!"
