These leopards are the first pair I have chosen to stitch from the series of 12 Noah's animals by Kelly Clark
These are large animals painted in a small design area on 18 mesh canvas. The spots reminded me of a pointillist painting. To keep the two animals separate from each other, I tweaked the colors of the leopard on the left, trying to use a slightly different palette. Another trick I used was to choose the most distinctive colors on each coat, stitching one color at a time until the most difficult to see color was the only one left.
Since stitching these, I have completed the peacocks and I am now stitching the giraffes. I have found it very helpful to Google photos of the animals I stitch to look for distinctive details.
