Forest Giraffes

Forest Giraffes

A mixed media piece. Colored pencils, and archival ink for the border.

This drawing was done on smooth, heavy bristol paper. It sure has a different look than the ones that I’ve done on vellum bristol papers.

    My comments are well deserved by you. Your use of colour here is impeccable.

  • Catherine Howell replied

    Again, Thank you:) I wanted to create a night mood here. I’m trying to learn how to portray different things better, such as water, and the sun or moon, and water movement. IT makes me nuts that my colored pencil waterfalls that I’ve done are not what I’d like them to be. Though, I sure appreciate your nice comments!
