What a beautiful animal portrait by .illustrations A leopard mother and cub... Big thanks to my friend Angharad .all.one.word who shared a bunch of amazing wildlife photos from her time in South Africa and Kenya! (Swipe over to see her photo, taken in Inyati, South Africa.) I wanted to color this with watercolors, but realized the brush pen ink is more water soluble than actual sumi ink, so resorted to Procreate instead... What do you think of the effect? 🙂

Love these peachy tones by Maile Lani]

Posted • Maile Lani] Whenever I’m having a hard time finding inspiration for paintings, I always sit down and start painting abstract mixed media pieces. They’re so much fun to create and I don’t really put a lot of pressure on myself when I’m working on them. This is the one I did on my reels yesterday and it’s making me really excited for warmer weather! Painted with paints on . I’ll have this painting and more available at the in April!
