I am really enjoying painting this one in my sketchbook. Some pieces just pull you in and slow you down. This gorilla is a fun exploration of colors and hues. Slowly pushing the darks, bringing forward the highlights and wrapping it in warmth with this layer. Should I add a background? #wip #sciart

A nearly finished watercolor painting of a lowland gorilla’s face, taped with black-and-white polka dot tape to a sketchpad and clipped with a green binder clip. Richer details and warmer tones define the gorilla’s fur and expressive eye. A watercolor palette, brush, stained cloth, and a coffee mug are visible on the wooden table in the background.
