Hey old friend just found your channel, love it. We are so very overdue for a catch up. Years and years in fact . All the best to you and the family , Paul
@@ericwilsonfineart yes, he also bought a tiger skin and took a photo kneeling on it .. not very PC now but different times.. and of course in Game Of Death we had the Temple of the Tiger !
Amazing! You're such a big artist! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful process with us! Now I'm going to try my tiger 😂 send me luck! *watching from 🇧🇷
Simply Stunning! You make me want to try and paint a tiger, but I fear huge disappointment when my results fall ridiculously short of this breath taking effort by you Eric.
@@ericwilsonfineart I did draw a white tiger years ago, so the basis is kind of there and with your inspiration and encouraging words here today, I think I might attempt an oil painting of a white tiger very soon 🖌️😁🎨
That background is crazy as hell. I am a new subscriber. The tiger painting is amazing and the creativity of the background. This is out of this world 🫶🫶🫶🫶
@@ericwilsonfineart Today I attended a pastel 3 hr course with Breanna who spent 2 weeks in Buxton with you learning lucky gal. I love working in pastels it is so great for building depth with layers especially with feathers and fur. When are you coming to Vancouver Island Canada to do a course please!!! Cheers
@@carolchristian526 Thats great! Breanna is really talented. I would love to come to Vancouver Island. I just need enough students there to make a course. :)
🥇Another masterpiece!!! You mention in the video that you were drawing the background from your imagination. Is the tiger also drawn from imagination or did you use a reference photo for the tiger?
Thank you Heidi. The tiger wasn't from imagination. It was from my own reference picture. The background was just grey stone, so I changed it for something more interesting.
Good video. I'm subscribed. Is there any chance you could please do a video where you show the reference photograph and talk through the process of blocking in (using oils) when painting animals? Alot of the time I see people painting layers that they then cover up later. How do you know what colours/tones to put down first as these are usually beneath the layers of fur you see with eye i.e the top layer? Fur is so complex and i find it hard to know what I should exactly be looking for. Many thanks and great work.
Thank you Paul. I try to match the correct colours and tones at every stage. The detail which is usually a degree lighter, just sits ontop of that. Like you said it is very complex and every bit is always different from the next bit so I would be very hesitant to prescribe any hard and fast generic rules. I will bear your comments in mind for future videos. ;)
@@ericwilsonfineart Thanks for replying. I'm going to start having a serious now, so I'll keep watching and trying. I suppose it's all really.practice and a case of having a go, using the fundamentals as best as possible and building up from there.
@@ericwilsonfineart Thank you ! I guessed as much as I got to the end of the video when you were doing the glazing. Im motivated to put my pastels aside and get my oils out!
Very nice?..but I have noticed before also....in your painting...you do details of foreground and background same... background shouldn't have so many details I suppose?
I don't play by anybody's rules. I paint what I paint and people can decide whether they like it or not. The only thing that matters to me is if I like it. That is my only goal.
Thank you, Eric. You are so generous to show your process. Your answer more questions by doing so than I had thought to ask.
Thank you Heather! You have reminded me that I need to do another video as soon as possible :)
Top work Eric!
It’s amazing how you bring this tiger to life. Looks so real even tangible… visually stunning. Love your work Eric. Jose from Melbourne Australia
Thank you!! I really appreciate your comment. ☺

Beautiful work . Bruce Lee had a Fascination with Tigers ..
Yes. He had a picture of a tiger on the wall in his house in Hong Kong.
@@ericwilsonfineart yes, he also bought a tiger skin and took a photo kneeling on it .. not very PC now but different times.. and of course in Game Of Death we had the Temple of the Tiger !

just so beautiful. Tigers are my favourite big cats. I could only dream of painting them as good as you do.
Thank you Eric!
My pleasure!

I'm absolutely stunned.
Stunning painting Eric👏🏼👏🏼. I sure hope it’s possible you do a masterclass oils in the future here in the Netherlands.🎨
Thanks Bas! I'm in negotiations already about that ;)

Muchas Gracias!

Any chance of a real-time DVD on this one?
If I can find the time I certainly will. ;)

Chingon!!!!
Fabulous! Are you painting wet in wet, or do you wait for each layer to dry before adding the next layer? Thanks
Good question! A bit of both really. As much wet in wet as I can do, and then other layers come along after the previous work has dried.
