On this page we will try and show how to paint a tiger face step by step so that you can see how the various layers and details are built up. We will give you the colours of the paints used and details of the brushes and sponges used so you can practise this for yourselves, although obviously different colours can be used for different effects (see bottom of page for examples). Before you begin to paint you will need a supply of clean water, a dry towel (to place around the person being painted) and either some wet wipes or a damp flannel (to keep your hands clean).
