'Young Bengal Tiger' - Graphite on Mellotex
Time to work has been in very short supply these last months due to urgent family commitments but here is an 8" x 6" study done for a late Christmas present. Snow on both sides of the ocean held up delivery so much I feared it was lost in transit but it finally arrived just in time for the New Year. Hopefully this Tiger will soon join the others already on the recipient's wall.
This was the first experiment with Mellotex and I found it very good to use, it accepted the graphite readily for a great depth of black in places and a soft kneaded putty rubber lifted it off for the lighter hairs without damaging the surface. I am looking forward to working with it again.

Beautiful piece Lesley and it must have been such a relief to know it finally arrived safely. Mellotex sounds very interesting and this is certainly a great result so hope you get time for more soon!
