Bear In Forest - Panorama Dot painting

Bear In Forest panorama dot painting, a grizzly resting on a fallen log

A large bear lies stretched out on a fallen trunk, chin on its paws, with pines, a stream and mountain peaks behind it. The wide canvas fits the animal from nose to hind paw without cropping.

The thick fur is printed as rows of circles that you dot with the markers. No paint involved, only patient dotting along the direction of the coat.

What is in the dot painting kit

Everything you need comes in one box:

• Printed canvas: sturdy, with fur, bark and pine needles finely printed.
• Guide: one page with the essentials.
• Double-tip markers:
  • 1.0 mm tip: for the bear's back, the log and the tree trunks.
  • 0.5 mm tip: for the eyes, nose, claws and the small wildflowers.

For nature lovers who like detail

Made for people who enjoy wildlife and do not mind a richly detailed canvas. A good project for several unhurried weekends.

Start with the face, since that is where the eye goes first. After that the fur and the forest can be done in relaxed, repetitive stretches.

Dot with the lay of the fur

Follow the curved fur lines across the back instead of working in straight rows. Press a little lighter on the muzzle so the face stays soft.

On the wall the bear looks calm and almost within reach. The dense dots give the coat a texture that smooth prints do not have.
