Snowcat - Lynx portrait

'Snowcat' is a coloured pencil drawing on Bristol board, created in a photo realistic style. Using my Caran D'Ache pencils alongside my Faber Castell Polychromos, I've chosen a fairly limited palette for this striking wildlife portrait which serves to heighten the effect of the cat's burning golden eyes that contrast so well with the cold tones of the snow. I was inspired to create this drawing after watching a Gordon Buchanan documentary on 'snow cats'. What beautiful, intelligent and tough creatures they are.

Measuring approximately 11 x 15.5 inches, this drawing is presented in a white mount and framed in a narrow 5cm square section brushed gold frame to a total size of about 16 x 20.5 inches, ready to hang. It is signed on the front and will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
