These young pigs know how to pass a summer day, sleeping through the heat on the barn floor.
I'm using a graphite pencil with a Niji water brush
filled with gray ink for the mottled coloration.Don't miss the my latest YouTube video "Painting Animals from Life: 7 Tips for Success"
Fantastic sketches as always!
ReplyDeleteWould you consider making a long form 'In the Wild' video exclusively about animals? I love your animals videos; there's such tension when you have to start over if the subject moves too early. And it's always so miraculous to see the final sketch looking like a snapshot.
Matthieu, That's a good idea. It would be fun to see some of the paintings develop live with a shot of the animal in split screen. Anything can happen. I'll give that some thought.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I liked the animal painting tips too. Your video's are all very inspirational. I learned a lot from Watercolors in the Wild and Gouache in the Wild. Casein is the next project ;-)
ReplyDeleteDo you ever use water soluble graphite for these kind of sketches? If not, may i ask why?
Gray ink? Any recs? I love Tom Nelson's washable walnut ink, but a cool grey washable ink would be lovely. gj
