3 live paintings of tiger @ isle of wight Zoo





Two preliminary sketch paintings on canvas paper very quick and fluid to get me tuned in, followed up with a longer painting on box canvas, quickly completed with brushes only.
In an impressionisic style that I tend to adopt for fast outdoor moving scenes.
I have completed a more detailed pencil sketch which I am in the process of redrawing onto canvas for a larger version of the stretching tiger.
Box canvas 20x20inches, canvas paper A5 size.
The good thing about this enclosure is you can sit at the back of a seated stand area where the keepers give talks affording me protection from any bad weather.
