The first painting in my collection of endangered cats is a handsome male Amur Tiger, I started with a simple pencil line drawing not adding any specific detail, just highlighting where the features should appear for example his eyes and nose and stripes. In the next stage, I created a very dreamy, blurred background, the reason behind this was because when I studied this tiger he seemed to be sadly concentrating on something.
The next stage was to simply block in color on the tiger to end up filling the canvas. Next, I started work on the detail of the fur and finally after a loving amount of finely detailed brush strokes the painting was complete. Each painting can take up to 3-4 months from start to finish. My title for this painting is: “Staring into an unknown future”
Amur Tiger Fact:
There are only an estimated 450 of these magnificent Amur Tigers left in the world due to illegal logging and poaching in Russia parts of China and North Korea.
