Raccoon- Canadian animals: Half-Face Collection

This is a painting of a raccoon in gouache, on 90lb cold pressed watercolour paper.

He is the second piece I painted after arriving in Canada and is part of the collection of half-faced Canadian animals.

I started with a brief sketch to get the proportions and placement of the main features, did a base layer of a light colour, and then added layers of different colour to add depth and different shades to the fur.
