TinTin Acrylic portrait

​This is a portrait of the sweet little Red Squirrel called Tintin. He lives in Denmark with his adopted family after falling from a tree and being abandoned by his Mum. He had a huge wound from his fall and his new 'Paps' took him in and cared for him, making a little jumper for Tintin to wear whilst his wound healed to stop him from scratching it. Tintin's Dad Decan, got exclusive permission from the Danish Wildlife Preservation to keep Tintin as a Pet as he would now be unable to fend for himself in the Wild and as Red Squirrels are an endangered species and it is therefore illegal to keep them as pets.

The first stage of this Acrylic painting is to lay down Molding paste to offer a textured effect which will be painted to simulate tree bark.
