Lion Art Challenge 2021
|
Because it is so much fun to do, we sometimes host an Art Challenge. Artists may use one of our (unedited) photographs to make it completely their own. We host this on our Instagram account @RTreferencePhotos |

"I think you are both fabulous to work with …..its quite scary asking photographers if you could possibly use their photos for reference but you make it much easier. The website is clear as are the instructions. The reference photos are always really clear which is great for artists." |

"I was looking for a beautiful big cat to draw when I saw Tazi's amazing photo of this young leopard. What I really love about it is the eyes! I use professional coloured pencils and after purchasing the image, I drew it A3 size. This is one of my favourite drawings and has been my most popular reel on Instagram with almost 4,000 views! So thank you so much Tazi, your images are so stunning and I look forward to using more for my art!" Justine Woosnam |

"The most beautiful photographs that are a pleasure to use. I made this from one of your photographs. |

"I first discovered @ByTazi with a beautiful photo of a tiger on Instagram. The photo was stunning, with incredible details and I knew I had to draw it. I found the RT Reference photos’ website and found even more beautiful photos. The photos are clear, detailed and beautiful. I am not a professional artist as this is a hobby for me and having such detailed photos helps me in achieving a realistic image. Even non artist would enjoy looking at the photos showing the animals in all of their splendour. Thank you!" Manon Bentley www.instagram.com/manonanimalart |

"I love your pictures, since the first visit to your site! you manage to make the beautiful nature and all kinds of animals look so majestic, impressive and still very close. as if you could touch them! very inspirational for any kind of art please be sure to show us more of it every day 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻 I chose this little guy because he looks so funny and cheeky and at the same time so peaceful. I also love all kinds of big cats, but I find it totally fascinating when the focus is on completely different, unique animals capturing the diversity of nature in a photo is simply impressive!"

"Remco and Tazi capture stunning photos of wildlife. For artists looking for a high quality photo of wildlife to use as a reference, then I highly recommend their photography! I used one of their photos, a Cheetah cub, which I drew in white charcoal and black carbon pencils. I entered this drawing in ‘Explorers Against Extinction, Sketch for Survival’ art competition. Out of 3000+ entries, my drawing made the final 100, which has gone on to be displayed at their exhibition tour in Norwich, Edinburgh and London. It will then be auctioned off to raise funds to support their projects." |

"I have used so many of your photos (my favorite place for wild animals photos!)- it was hard to choose one of my paintings. I was so drawn by your photo of Lea the Orangutan and when I heard how she had tragically died - I had to paint her in pastel. I cried often as I painted her - grateful for your wonderful photos."
