See in progress here - [link] and [link]Waaah.
I finished taking painting 2 last semester, and so stopped painting (my teacher still has some of my work, so I haven't been able to put it up), but last weekend I was suddenly seized with the need to paint an elephant, it was very important that I do so.
Oh dear.
I began sketching it with a water colouring pencil, then I can up with the brilliant idea of going over that with bloody charcoal.
Next I painted the background with water colours. By Crayola.
Then I lightly began painting the elephant with watercolours, so I could get a rough idea of what I wanted it to look like. Originally I was going to paint the elephant in acrylic, but I got out the black and white paint, looked at the canvas, and decided I could fuck it up just as well with water colour. Plus, it would be cheaper.
Half way through doing that I realized the green part of the background looked like leaves. Changed it to make it look crap, instead.
I am definitely not finished with this, but I'm getting sick of it, so I thought I'd put it up to show that I'm still alive

*smack* It doesn't look like crap. I really like it actually. The colors look wonderful and watercolors (I've learned from horrible experiences) aren't the easiest things to work with.

I really like this. I love the multi-colored scheme. I just love elephants.

I'm spreading some love.
Yes this is under appreciated work, the colours are nice, like the setting as well. You gave a whole other dimension on the elephant which looks not strong, but beautyfull and colourful at the same time.
