Your welcome and red such a versatile colour with many different meanings in one colour which is what makes it a great colour one minute its the colour of something good next the colour of something bad

At first I thought it was a big, scary tarantula but when I saw African Five I realized it was a Cape Buffalo. How do you get the fur to look that way? All shaggy and wild?

Haha interesting! These rough pieces need some interpretation
I honestly put zero thought into the methods I used here, I literally slapped paint over the canvas. I only used big brushes (the smallest one was a filbert brush that was 1/2" wide, which is pretty big for a small canvas), so I just slashed my brush loaded with undiluted paint across the canvas in the approximate direction of the fur.

No worries! Sometimes with these super rough pieces it's not as clear, which I kinda like. C:
