elephants


I've been playing around with a new watercolor technique that Mary Jane Begin demonstrated at Kindling Words. That's right watercolor... She uses a modified old master technique that allows layering... I'm in love.

a lovely, lovely piece. big, bold imagery. nice contrasting color combination. love how you "dappled" in the trees in the bg. they didn't need much more than that but you still managed to mix in 3 different shades of green. and it stands in contrast to the simple detailing you have in the elephant's hide. mixing in some good color action.

can't believe that's watercolor!

good job kiddo.
