Artist Notes
The is a companion piece that will be displayed next to my earlier wolf painting, Calling Home. It is part of a gallery display that I am establishing at my building. The cougar is a large cunning cat with great strength. They are found from the Canadian Yucon to the S. American Andes. They can take down elk, moose, deer, any domestic animal, rodents and... occasionally humans. They are beautiful animals. As with all of my paintings, there were no imported, scanned photos or 3rd party softwares used for this painting. I did use a reference photo for the cougar but added my own features and posturing to make it unique. The short, tight fur was the greatest challenge. It required creating a custom brush for those fur textures. The full size painting is 60 x 48 and required 45 hours spread over two weeks to complete. Russ Cleversley

PixelArtisan
The PixelArtisan, (Russ), is a digital artist with a strong passion for realism. His paintings often include dramatic skies, articulate lighting and are always highly detailed. All of his digital works are created exclusively with Photoshop. Each painting generally requires between 50 and 100 hours to complete and are up to 96 inches wide or high. There are never any imported images, scans or other software used in his paintings. Some paintings are from cherished memories, some are his portrayal of specific locations while others are totally imaginary. For the more complex realism paintings he may use a reference photo for specific elements but never copies or duplicates the photo. He always adds his own touches to make each element unique. Russ has developed a seminar for digital fine art that he presents to art societies and galleries. He has his works on display at several regional galleries, at malls and other commercial locations. Russ was recently awarded an Honorable Mention by ...
