Here is the more impressionistic version of the lion. I used Skip Allan's Buttery Oils, medium bristle rough that I modified a little. Jan if you try the buttery oils, they only work on the canvas or over paint that has already been applied. If you want to do on a second layer, you have to fill it with white and then make it a "gel" composition so the white is transparent. this works great except if you try to paint a white spot. It will be transparent so you really have to do the lighters colors on a default layer. If you try any of the brushes and have a question, feel free to ask.
