Again with the elephants

Another progression of a painting. Another painting of elephants.
There is so much to love about elephants and I want to fill the walls with them - drawing and painting as big as possible.

This painting is done on four sheets of watercolor paper taped together.


Using a sketch of an elephant I did at the zoo and several photographs (which were no help at all) and finally trying to match the colors from a painting I did while I was in school.

I then painted over those colors with lighter ones.
