New Tiger Painting Update

Posted on by Zara Toms
🐾🐅🐯 IN PROGRESS UPDATE 🐯🐅🐾A few days ago I shared my new Tiger painting I had sketched out. I have really struggled to put the paint brushes down for this one.

She gave me free rein and we...

Maisey & Lexie Update

Posted on by Zara Toms
First off... Ignore the background... If I got the colour of Maisey right the background went a bit erm.. vibrant!
