New Wildlife Piece :D

Posted on by Zara Toms

While my Tiger is off drying (cannot wait to share the finished painting with you) I thought while I had my airbrush out working on a pet portrait commission I'd do the background to my next wildlife piece. I tend to do this to make the best use of having my airbrush set up. I now need to plan my next piece after this one.... 8" x 10" Acrylic on Canvas Board with Airbrush Background

New wildlife piece… YAY!

I had something in mind pretty much immediately and this meant trying a new technique I haven't used before. New art materials... always exciting!On my last art stock order I purchased a new surface to try. Us...
