Watercolour Wildlife Tiger Painting: Paint Animal Fur, Form and Expression Step by Step

Hi Kris - great job, some beautiful colours and blended markings in the fur. I've replied to your discussion on the use of masking fluid and whiskers, hopefully that will help for future. Thank you for sharing your lovely project, best wishes Carrie

Oh, he's just beautiful! The colours are amazing. Very well done :)

Thanks Joanna, I was playing with those colors alot, at times getting too much paint down. Love granulation and added kynite genuine around his muzzle, chest, eye and stripes. I like transparent brown and the way Jayne used it in another tiger. I also wanted to get some Cad orange and potter's pink in the nose.

Your tiger's expression is excellent. Well done!!

Kris, he is beautiful! Excellent job!

Beautiful work, Kris! I love how your background complements the tiger. Carrie is fantastic with masking fluid, and I’m sure she will have some great tips for you. However, in case you haven't seen it, I wanted to share that Chris (Krzysztof) Kowalski recently released a class focused on applying masking fluid. It’s a quick class filled with useful tips that could be beneficial: "How to Use Masking Fluid in Watercolor: Tools, Tips, and Techniques."

I may have to watch this, I hate masking fluid!!

Very nice Kris. That left side background almost gives the illusion of his full body.  I like that.
