In the next steps I try to make it as clear as possible how I went about rendering this painting.

This painting has a size of 23” by 31” and the materials that where used: Canvas with gesso, pencil, acryl paint by Magic colour and Golden, X-cato knife, eraser pencil and a Devillbiss 63A aibrush.

Step1 I decided to make this painting with a painted border so after I pre- pared the canvas with two layers of gesso, I taped the outside of the canvas and painted it with a brush.

Step2 With pencil I made the sketch of the lions and then I started with trans- parent black to paint outlines.

Step3 The result so far....

Step4 ...and a detail of both heads.

Step5 With a mix of ochre and brown I started to build up layer by layer the body colour of the lions.
