Combed Elephant


Integrating Watercolor and Modelling Paste


The Plan:

(From a prompt to do a page with a neutral color palette: gray and tan.) Draw an elephant in pencil from a source photo. Add modelling paste in trunk, legs and ears and comb in wrinkles and then paint elephant in Payne's Grey watercolor. Add modeling paste through drywall tape in background. Use shredded jute twine mixed in gesso for "grass" the elephant is standing on.

The surprise: they integrated amazingly well.
