Isle of wight zoo/ Tiger Sanctuary live studies


One of my New Year resolutions is to get out there and do more live sketching and painting.
But where, then it struck me. just half a mile from my studio is the Sandown tiger Sanctuary..
Unfortunately it does not open until the 16th feb.
What I have decided to do is spend a year /season dedicated to painting the local zoo environment and I hope to see some marked improvement in my drawing skills over that period.
My initial drawings and paintings have come from earlier sketches I made some years ago.
This is an acrylic painting on 10 x 14 inch canvas completed from a head sketch I unfortunately did not date, possibly late 90's, of a white tiger.
