This female tiger was my third image in a series of Japanese Woodblock-like prints. After making a digital image of the black contours in the composition, my friend and digital tech expert, N. Greyman, was able to isolate each separate area within the contour drawing, and apply the many layers of rich color using the Photoshop software on a Mac computer. Many of the colors used were borrowed and painstakingly duplicated from research into the artwork of Hiroshige. (A continuation of the description follows in ‘War of the Tiger’)
