Giving Thanks - How to Paint Tiger Lily with set of 3 Chinese Bamboo Brushes

Time is flying! In the beginning of this Tiger Year, I had a idea that is to do a series dedicated to subject matters that have got a "tiger" in their name, for example, "Tiger lily", "Tiger Shrimp" and "Tiger Cat". But I had not got chance to do it until today. Hope I can do a couple more in catching the tail of the Tiger Year. Please let me know if you like this idea or not write your suggestions in your comments (forget about "Tiger Woods" though:-).

I used Xuan paper with silver flakes in this painting:

Great Henry...as always.

Did you use Peach Sap glue on these as well?

[blueheronarts]

@MrHroark Yes, I used peach sap glue water in doing this painting. Thanks!

Henry, I love ALL your art and truly enjoy watching you paint; But this "green" screen and all the camera movements, zooming, panning in and out, makes watching just a lit bit less enjoyable. Too much movement....sorry.

[MrHroark]

@blueheronarts Thanks Henry. Is it pretty safe to say that its a good idea to use the glue water in most paintings?

I look forward to your "Tiger" project.
