This tiger had a surprised look that I wanted to try and capture. It's surprising, I know.

I almost feel like I'm cheating when I paint tigers. They are a composition in themselves - a ready-made study in interesting value arrangement.

I've had several people ask for a tutorial about painting animals. This is something I'm excited to get started with, but I'm wondering if you have any specific questions or things you'd like to know. Any input would really help, and I thank you in advance!

It probably makes sense that I like big cats, considering I'm a Leo. They are such magestic animals. This is another one I did from a Pixabay reference. I think it's a tiger?

And above are some little studies I did for this month's DPW Challenge. The idea is to choose a subject and do a series that slowly gets simpler (but still reads like the thing). I did two sets, so top left of each set are my "complex" versions - ha! #2 is top, right, #3 is bottom, left, and #4 is bottom, right. This was hard for me!! My husband says it's because I already simplify my subjects. He's probably right. But if you find yourself overworking, and want to simplify, join us in this challenge!
