“Lion at Rest – Original” [24th July 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, drawing with H, HB, 4B and charcoal pencils, signed in black ink on 280gsm 250mm x 300mm gesso primed canvas [pad], digitally edited image 2475 x 2934 pixels.
Immediately shown above is the Original pencils drawing of “Lion at Rest”. I then proceeded to make five digital artworks from the Original. Four individual colour compositions in embossed format – ‘Silver’, ‘Green’, ‘Blue’ and ‘Black&White’.
The fifth piece formed ‘Collage’ which included all four embossed colour compositions together at the four corners with the ‘Original’ placed in five of the central Collage squares. You can see these artworks in this blog article below.
My pencils drawing was made within 32 minutes starting with a blank canvas without prior study.
The Lion lives at Chester Zoo in the UK.
My embossed versions are inspired by Andy Warhol’s Endangered Species artworks.
