Hi, I have slacked off a bit recently, it's been too hot to do anything! My son is aiming for a black and white theme in his new house so mum has got to work on Z E B R A S............. here is a close up. I have found that 99% of people who viewed the giraffes painting were very impressed with the realism and loved the 'photographic' effect. Though the subject is simple, it was technically tedious to 'shade' with black/ white paint when it isn't - to create the perspective. Another close up, can you see the folds of skin? Can you see the subtle shades of blues and purples etc within the black and white stripes? I just love this pose, it goes with my campanionship theme. Of course, I had to make it impressive too with the size of canvas - it's 36ins by 24ins. Hope you like it. Lily |
