Here are more progress images of the sumatran tiger wildlife painting I have been working on over the past couple of days.

Website Update
Since finishing work on Alfred’s portrait, I have been updating the website with all the recently worked on portraits. I have created new pages for each one of the six new artworks and included them on my gallery page. The new artworks include two pencil family portraits, a lovely pencil portrait of ‘Baxter’ the lively…
‘Alfred’ – Dalmatian Dog Portrait in Acrylic – Final Scan

His owners wanted a pet portrait of him in his favourite walking spot in county Wicklow, so there is going to be a lovely landscape background in this painting. The client also asked me to remove Alfred’s collar…
Bride portrait final scan

Bride portrait in progress
I have made more progress on the bride portrait I am currently working on. Firstly, I put down an under painting over the skin areas. I used a mixture of raw umber and white which will work great as a base for adding skin tones at a later stage. Today, I spent most of the…
