Without any doubt, yours are among the best tiger paintings out there. I'm a zoologist and, after filmmaking for 45 years, I decided on a change and recently took up painting. Not so different from photography, right? Wrong!! But one result of working with tigers for some time is that at least I know how they are supposed to look; however, achieving a realistic end-result with a paintbrush is taking a lot of practice and patience ... but, with thanks to artwork like yours, I'm slowly getting there. Your teaching style is both inspiring and encouraging and I am greatly appreciative. Many thanks. Bob H.

[@StudioWildlife]

Thank you very much! I'm a Biologist myself. Glad my artwork can be an inspiration for you!

[@CR7SIUUUU34-s2c]

@@StudioWildlife hii I also like to be a wildlife biologist. I didn't find somewhere to work yet. can i know where do u work?

[@bethleblanc656]

Agreed!

[@EchoTechConstance]

Your technique is so simplistic and you use it in all of your paintings, which makes someone like myself who is struggling to move passed being a perfectionist the hope of making painting easier. You walk us through each step with the brushes and colors you use along with how you match the photo with each brush stroke. But no matter how many times I watch your videos, I am still amazed by each of your paintings. So brilliant! Thank you for teaching how to paint in acrylic in a straight forward, reliable way. It takes the pressure off of me so I can perform well!

[@tribalbabymum]

I think it's great how you are sharing the creation of your work. People could pick up/ be reminded of tips and 'tricks' to bring sizzle to their work.

[@rajan_678]

You are the best teacher i found so far on yt. Thnks big brother

[@lynxlady5355]

Beautiful tiger painting. Very realistic. Love it!

[@shaluvishali4590]

Thanks a million for detailed time stamp with details of brush, color mixing and how to layer. Much helpful for beginners and struggle to layering the paint. Keep rocking 💐

[@bethleblanc656]

Wow! absolutely stunning paint brush skill and realism. Now, I know how to approach my tiger's cub painting. Thank you.

[@Zeen987]

This is incredible. So much detail, it looks like a photograph! 🐅 ❤️

[@StudioWildlife]

Thank you so much 😀

[@LyTanArt]

It seems that very few people use acrylic paint for realistic painting. You are one of the few people I found through KZbin. I'm also starting to use acrylics for realistic painting. I always use acrylic but in a different way. Because I am in the process of practicing and trying to practice realistic painting with acrylic colors, I need to find and learn more from people like you. I saw your pictures and it's beautiful 😍

[@simonaghidoni5037]

I love your work! I am following your techniques, I haven't been painting for years and I am working on a tiger right now, watching your videos instead of watching Netflix, much more fun 😀 you are a really good artist!

[@dik5240]

Amazing painting. Looks very realistic.

Amo a los animales y buscaba también algo para ver en detalle el proceso de hacerlos, hace años que pinto, pero otros motivos, estos me motivaron para intentar. Gracias por tus enseñanzas!!!!

I'm working on a baby panda, and this vid helped me figure out the layering and I wanted to make sure I'm laying the hairs with the right brush... Now... Doing baby fluffy fur... Won't be quite and worrisome as I thought it would be :)

question: using airbrush for that orange layer in-between as you said to make it a bit brighter, how does that compare to doing a wash?

After adding black stripes did u add burnt sienna or burnt umber as a glaze ?? I started a sketch and trying to follow ur method. Ur work is hyper realistic sir

thank you ! i used mostly burnt sienna

This is an amazing piece! Thanks for sharing your progress!!🙏 I'm new to acrylics since a couple of days, and thought that I would get the same results as with my pastels right away.. boy was I wrong!😅 at least I can learn from your videos in order to find out what I'm doing wrong😋👌

You are so welcome! Keep trying and let us know if you have any questions we'd love to help

[@АлександърВасилев-н7ц]

Amazing work! Congrats! I try to paint tiger but the paint dont cover.. When i use dark brown like burnt umber and let it dry.. Then try to use sienna with yellow its ok, but after 2 min is gone :( Try with water, without water, always same result. I use Liquitex basics.. Sorry for my english and please help to solve that problem.

[@StudioWildlife]

I’ve never used that brand of paints before but it sounds like they are not very pigmented. I think maybe buying some professional quality paints may help or you may have to do more that one layer of each colour if you want solid colours in your painting

[@vane8062]

Hello..Which brand did you use for this painting ?

[@londoncustoms]

Thanks bro, this is really helpful!

[@StudioWildlife]

Glad it helped!

[@artistnimmishinde2646]

Which colour is that with which u have done wash is it plain burnt sienna or mixed somthing else

[@StudioWildlife]

Burnt sienna and Mars orange are good colours for tiger fur

What can you do if you do not have an air brush? like you used.

[@StudioWildlife]

Just use thin washes of paint with a brush instead
