Once again I have used oils to complete this teddy bear portrait, another from my friend’s large collection.  Raw Umber, Indian Yellow and Indian Red were the main colours used to achieve the lights and darks within the fur, final white highlights were added at the end of the process.  The portrait was painted on a white primed canvas using quick drying alkyds with a matt varnish applied.
