I’ve made a fair bit of progress with my lion after a long break over the Christmas and new years period. I’ve finally finished papering both lion heads. I do have a third frame to be papered and painted but I think I will leave that as a reference frame for possible future lions I make.

Now starts the fun bit. Studying and admiring the finer detail of other lion heads to see the intricate detail that is involved with the painting process.
I can’t wait to start painting these two.
I’m tossing up between a Lau Bei and a Cheung Fei lion or two Lau Bei lions of different base colours
