Big Fella Gorilla

6x7 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper of a gorilla named Big Fella in his enclosure.  Ref courtesy WetCanvas Watermedia challenge for this month.  It is my first time to ever paint a gorilla and was quite a struggle to paint the hairy ape.  A gorilla is also the next prompt for Facebook page Animals in Watercolor beginning on Sunday.  In the photo he appeared to be looking at his iPhone.
