Re: Project Discussion: Out of Africa

Thankyou, Leigh!
I haven't done much since that last photo, hope to get a few hours in this evening, though. That sketch is taken directly from a google image of a bongo calf (cows have horns same as males). It showed the leg structure and markings that I needed to complete this painting. I started this project with 4 photos and only as much knowlege of this animal as its common name. Now through my research I know more about bongos than I am likely to ever need again! LOL! But that is the fun of this kind of project, to learn something of the subject in order to paint it realistically! BTW, I am really impressed by the quality work everyone is putting into this project! There is some really super work here!

Re: Project Discussion: Out of Africa

I completely agree. The level of work being posted in here is fantastic. It seems I'm not the only one inspired by the thought of crossing the Serengeti and painting the big game!

Please don’t feel intimidated, us oldies love to see new up and coming talent. We all go trough the learning curve and see in your work memories of our problems but we recognise talent. You’re planning and colour choices are good and the whole image is coming on nicely.

Great close-up and works so well with the softness of the velour.
With soft Pastel on Velour, did you not have difficulty fixing it? I had - especially the softer, light shades fell off. There was a thread about this problem and somebody suggested, only to use hard pastels on velour.
