Sleeping Tiger in Watercolor


Just off the easel - Sleeping Tiger - watercolor - 13"w x 10"h

I took the photo of this cat on our Bed and Breakfast bed when we were visiting Banchory, Aberdeen, Scotland. He was a beauty, to be sure, and ever so friendly. The painting shows him to be much more remote that he actually was in person or rather, in cat.

I apologize for not taking more step-by-step photos of the progress of this handsome feline. But here are the few I did remember to take. If you look hard, you can watch the details emerging as the photos progress. The final photo, above, shows how I added the whiskers and a few ear hairs with Winsor Newton Designer Gouach, Permanent White.
