    Somehow this thread got onto Black Bears. I believe the original question was about a grizzly. I would use acrylics. Get out the earth colors. Raw Umber, Burnt Umber, Raw sienna, Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ochre. Check out some good reference photos. I think I would make a mixture of the Umbers stay on the "red" side. This would be my base color. I would high light the sides of the muzzle with Raw sienna. Paint the hump and along the spine with a lot of yellow mixed in. In the shadows, under the belly and the bottom of the legs I would shade with Raw Umber. In the rib area you could rub in some Burnt Sienna. Try to think hi lights and shade. This should make a pretty good looking bear.
