Fearless Concentration


We've been lucky to have beautiful weather this week. Going out to paint today so, of course, it's overcast with rain expected. What a season this has been.
I've wanted to paint some animals for quite awhile. Decided to start with my favorite, the tiger. I was trying to get prey reflected in his eye but no matter how I approached it, I just couldn't get it right. More practice, I guess.
I start with very dark colors and work my way to light and then add the detail. I use a very old brush for the hairs and then paint more detailed hairs with a liner brush.
