? Mr. Jiang Hai, one of the modern tiger painters, applies the western painting skills he learned since childhood to the creation of Chinese tiger paintings, combining western painting techniques such as sketching, anatomy, perspective, chiaroscuro, etc., and using the materials and tools of Chinese paintings to paint tigers in Chinese paintings.

After years of dedicated research and practice, he has gradually worked out a set of painting methods suitable for his own Chinese tiger painting, and fully integrated the classical and modern components of Chinese tiger painting. He has created his own unique style of tiger painting.
