Original artwork description:

An original Pencil drawing by Paul Stowe - These large carnivores are powerfully built with long bodies, relatively short legs, and a broad head. There are nine subspecies and are distinguished by the unique characteristics of their coats, which range from tawny or light yellow in warm, dry habitats to reddish-orange in dense forests. Their coat is covered in dark, irregular spots called rosettes. These spots are circular in east African leopards, but square in southern African leopards. This drawing shows a leopard peering through the leaves on a tree to gain a better vantage point.


Drawn as always on smooth Bristol Board with Faber Castell 9000 series pencils and a Tomo Zero eraser - size for this drawing was c34cm X 48cm - Time Taken c40 hours.

Following a 20 year Hiatus Paul picked up his pencils again and started drawing back in 2012
Turning professional in 2016 Paul has won accolades across the globe, initially exhibiting and selling work in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand he now resides in the centre for contemporary British Art and the Tate Modern Gallery, St Ives, Cornwall.

His work is on permanent display in the Stowe Gallery of Truro and with individual and corporate collections across the world.
