This is a young chimpanzee that I spotted on telly this morning- some documentary about chimps in captivity.I actually froze the frame and took picture of it--not the best way to get a reference- but since I planned to paint it loosely, lack of details didn't matter much.In fact it helped me loosen up!
you work with what you can when it comes to painting wildlife :)
ReplyDeletelovely work
True,Jennifer and thank you :)
DeleteI'm in love, Arti!!!! You painted him beautifully! I've been taking reference photos from the television as well as practice ...trying to loosen myself! Hmmmm! It doesn't help but it's a good practice. Looks like you mastered it because he's amazing.
ReplyDeleteYes I like him too.In the beginning I was not sure how would I tackle the dark fir in a large area but everything fell into place eventually.Cherry on top, someone bought him this evening!
DeleteInteresting way to capture a reference… The painting looks great..
