I have teamed up with the remarkable Cheetah Conservation Fund - Namibia - to help raise money for the Cheetah and it's wilderness habitat - through the sale of this print. So you can now own my latest print and help the endangered cheetah at the same time. (15% of profits will be donated to CCF)

 

Cheetah Painting - Progress, 29th May 2007 (image above)

Running at an incredible 60mph + I felt that the cheetah just had to be whipping up some dust from the hot dry surface as it shot past, I think it certainly adds to the feeling of speed.

Many more details and refinements have now been added, and although you can't see it in this photograph there is also fur texture and individual hairs added! The real painting also shows some detailing in the eye. I have worked extensively on the grasses and ground cover but also not detailed it too much as it would certainly distract from the main subject - the lightening fast cheetah.

The whole canvas is now covered with approx 2 layers of paint and the cheetah and surroundings are starting to take form - still a long way to go though! Apologies for the poor quality photograph on this one.

Here I have begun the very basic blocking in of the painting, plus at the same time I am playing around with colours and ideas to help make the cheetah look FAST!

Cheetah Painting - Progress, 17th May 2007
A cheetah is known for one thing - SPEED - Ultimate Speed! no land mammal is faster and the challenge of this painting is to give the feeling of speed whilst showing detail and muscle structure of this perfectly adapted cat. Above you can see the simple initial drawing and a very thin colour wash just to tone the canvas.
