Abstract Realism Tutorial// Tiger Painting

Hello friends!!!

Firstly, I hope everyone is doing well! I have had a busy week, but things have finally calmed down a bit.

Onto business... So, this abstract realism tiger is a mixed media collage method that I really enjoy. I thought I would share an in-depth video about the techniques I use to get a variety of abstract effects.

By the way... This painting has no oil layer on top. I will probably galze with oils at some point, but it really doesn't need much.

I hope you all enjoyed the video and got some useful information out of it. Thank you so much for your support, questions, and lovely comments! Please don't hesitate to ask questions if I didn't explain something. I will respond! Love to all of you!

I can't sketch I am thinking to glue the gel print I made to the canvas with gel medium. You totally inspired me. Thank you

I'm an artist as well. But didn't start working in mixed media until after college because it was never taught in school. And I took art classes ha. I didn't know abstract realism is a thing. And I think this is the exact style I've been looking for my whole life! I love it!!

Love your style. Do you have a web site where you sell your paintings or prints. I mainly do portraits but want to add interest in my background. Thank you.
