Tiger

Comment Finished date 2024-06-30
Thirteen years ago I painted this amazing tiger reference using water colour. When a similar reference appeared again in a WDE, I decided to paint it in acrylics this time and go big (for me).

I flipped the reference as I wanted the tiger to look forward instead of back. Having painted a lot of impressionism lately, I tried to stay loose in the brush strokes and not using the exact colours.
