Okay, so I wanted to try a harder painting and here is the results. This painting took about four weeks to complete and I learned about a dozen new techniques. This was the first painting that I painted without a general sketch on the canvas. I started with a background and then painted layer after layer until I achieved the general clouds and shape of my tiger. Then it was another several layers to complete the tiger and flesh out the background. I probably did way to much work to get the picture finished, but hey, that is what learning is all about. My wife has now started a new impressionistic painting of a tiger with a vivid colorful background. She has finished the background and now has started the outline and it is really coming out cool.
I had forgotten that you did this one without a sketch. Damn, that makes it even more impressive. Thanks for humoring my tiger painting. ;-)
