This fine art painting emphasizes raw texture and depth through the use of cold wax and pigment powders. Bold, deep strokes in monochromatic tones enhance the dramatic, graphic quality of the piece. Multiple layers of cold wax are applied with varying temperatures and pressures, creating a striking contrast between matte and shiny areas. These effects highlight the natural variations in fur texture, capturing the strength and vitality of the subject. The layering technique achieves a dynamic interplay of light absorption and reflection, imparting a lifelike sense of dimension and power.
