World Sun Bear Day

World Sun Bear Day

Apparently yesterday was World Sun Bear Day! As I haven’t painted in what feels like forever I spent a lovely hour painting up this little guy this morning. I haven’t worked in gouache in so long I had forgotten how it handles so this was a nice little way to refresh my memory.

Sun bears are the smallest of all the bear species. They get their name from their golden patch of fur on their chest which represents the rising sun (or so the legends foretold!). What are you all up to this Sunday? Tell me in the comments!
