Night Blooming Cereus and Wolf Painting











Hello Everyone!  I finished a couple paintings recently, just wanted to post them here.  I also posted  day by day progress photos for the wolf painting.  The wolf painting is a light subject against a dark background which is something I am not used to.  I had to carefully paint around the wolf to preserve the white of the paper.  I decided not to use liquid mask because I do not like it (destroys brushes and difficult to paint with).  I might use liquid mask in the future if I use a light subject against a dark background, its just difficult to control and stay inside the shapes you want to preserve.  The flower is referenced from one of my Mother's plants called a night blooming cereus.  I thought it looked cool so I decided to draw and paint it.
