Description

Working in Watercolour while I was down at my sister's place. 
Admittedly, being cautious with my concepts. As each image I attempted became a little more confident, the complexity of them also dramatically rose. 

I wanted to work with opposing colours, or complimentary colour palettes for the figure. Instead of an orange tiger, I went with purple, and pitted the concept simply- tiger of water, and the fire- either being the breath, or the obstacle- to silhouette the front form and help create the contrast.
I also love using the elements as symbolic contradictions, so it was a comfortable start for me.

Scan not as nearly amazing as original. Honestly, when isn't it ever?

Wow, awesome job! Even as a tiger, which usually creates excitement/danger, is relaxing in this piece. ^w^
