On site painting and sketches of indian tiger Sultan at the isle of wight zoo

Several Pencil sketches were made to get the right composition for the canvas painting all completed on location at the zoo.

Sultan is one of three tigers that get rotated into this enclosure, it is down the back side area' ish where very few people get, along one side there is a fence to prop up all my materials and it is very tranquill. Sultan spent all his time sun bathing, it was a very bright day and he systematically moved around his platform.
Painting completed approx 4hours over two afternoons. acrylic on canvas 24x36inches.
