Amur Leopard is Highly Commended

Posted on by Tamsin

My pencil drawing Amur Leopard has been highly commended in the SAA Artist of the Year competition!

The artwork will first be exhibited at the SAA HQ in Nottingham, and then at Birmingham NEC at the International Craft and Hobby Fair in November. Amur Leopard will be seen by thousands of people, a wonderful opportunity for me to highlight the possibilities of the humble pencil and paper.

Amur Leopard Finalist in SAA Artist of the Year 2018

Posted on by Tamsin

My pencil drawing, Amur Leopard, has been selected as a finalist in the The SAA Artist of the Year 2018 competition! It is entered in the category of Animal or Wildlife so I have no doubt that the competition will be steep. The original artwork will very soon be heading to The SAA headquarters to join the other finalists for the next round of judging.

This was a very challenging picture to draw as anyone who has subjected themselves to drawing that much fur and white whiskers will appreciate, so I hope it withstands close scrunity by the panel. Fingers crossed!

Greetings cards featuring Amur Leopard and also limited edition prints of this and other artworks are available to purchase.
