Jaguar New Painting Work in Progress FINISHED!

I completed my painting yesterday and posted it on my website.

Yesterday I continued working on his spots and stripes.

I finished up the spots and stripes and then I decided to make the overall painting larger.
 I like the way the edges fade away. I was originally going to frame 
it in an 11"x14" mat but now I will cut the opening larger.

 

Here is the final painting. I painted in some whiskers and detailed the hairs with a colored pencil. 
I also lifted some highlights with water and a still brush. 

I am very happy with the results and can't wait to do another one this way.
