THE CREATION PROCESS
The Commissionee was more than happy to let me create the final composition once she had chosen the reference image of the Tiger. I knew the best way to place the Tiger would be in water, so using an editing program, I pulled a few sections of other photographs I had in my reference library (from a day out photographing Otters) and roughly placed them on to the one photograph. I know the Artwork will change throughout but the reference is used as a guide - the creation is the fun part!
