Here's a new one, William Huggin

William Huggins was born in May of 1820 and died February 25 1884 at the age of 63. He is known for painting birds and other animals. He received his first drawing instructions at Liverpool Mechanics' Institution. He won a prize for "Adam's Vision of the Death of Abel." He drew for his life by taking classes at the Academy of Arts or by going to the zoo and drawing the animals there. One of his paintings is called Bengal Tiger and it is a very good painting. It is a painting of a basic tiger but it didn't look very happy. I noticed that he added lots of details! And that is what I like!
