Animals Mixed Media Painting

There is nothing like the thrill of walking through the jungle looking for a tiger and knowing they could be watching you already. - Ashlan Gorse Cousteau

Since I have come from Masai mara and have seen these creatures in their natural habitat, it had always been a desire to capture that essence in form of a painting. I was so close to seeing a game on one of the mornings. Though we couldn’t be part of the game as such, but we saw the tiger feasting on his hunt a few minutes later. The aggressiveness of this animal could be easily seen at that time. The tiger to tigress was with 2 cubs and we could even see blood on their faces. The tiger has been sketched and colored using pastel pencils because I thought the fur is best depicted by pastel pencils. Also the intensity of eyes comes out beautifully with these pencils. Oil pastels might not have been able to do justice to it.
