Title of my 2015 Art Bear for the Black Bear Film Festival

The hand-made Pleurant figurine placed in the inside of the bear shrine.  Sculpted from cold porcelain and painted with acrylics. 

Without shrine insert

Carrying the wings for the bear to the truck

After leaving the bear head outside to dry from the primer, an animal attacked and shreded it.  I thought it was a lost cause and ordered a new head then decided to glue the pieces back together.  Ended up using the new head for the project but the repaired head served as a great test subject for paints and washes.  It remains a proud part of my art studio, watching over the shenanigans.

Initial concept for the bear, focusing more on 'armour' placement that would be built out of foam.  Essential play time to get to know the material and also allow the concept to organically evolve into the final product.

Finished the initial construction of the wings.  Another success that I had no idea how to start or accomplish.  Allowed myself to start an idea and see where it took me.  The wings ended up being exactly want I wanted, even though I had no idea how the would be constructed.  Reminded me that I have to trust the process.

I had an idea of the vertigris I wanted on the bear...a good mix of copper patina with areas of rust showing through.  I loved these tests even though I went with a more subtle approach with the final bear.

Splatter from the reactive copper paint I used for my first undercoat of the bear.

The unveiling of the final submission for the Art Bear.  It stood outside of its assigned spot for several months to draw attention to the Black Bear Film Festival and was eventually auctioned off during the festival.
