“Wild Eye” – Original Leopard Painting

Leopard Art Print

This original leopard’s eye painting incorporates a unique blend of mediums. Some spots were created using acrylic ink, giving the fur an abstract, watercolour-like effect that seamlessly blends into the realism created using an airbrush. Some of the fur was added in with a paintbrush, while other details were created by removing paint with a knife – exposing light, texture, and movement through subtraction rather than addition. This original painting is executed on a 9 × 12 inch, 1.5″ deep gallery-wrapped canvas. A restrained palette of natural tones is punctuated by the vibrant eye, drawing the viewer inward toward the gaze itself. The result is a piece that rewards close inspection, where technique and intuition coexist within a single focal point.

For collectors interested in process, a short studio video documents the evolution of the work from first layers to final detail.
