A quick watercolor demonstration, painting an African elephant with just 3 colors, some charcoal and gesso.
Join me for a fantastic painting workshop in Africa, May 2005 – Still some places left

Thanks Marina, the painting was done on a 27x36mm sheet of Arches 300gsm cold press paper
It’s impressive what you can do with the “tried-and-true” palette, charcoal and gesso to bring an elephant to life — lumbering and dusty. You continue to inspire me. Cheers, mate.
beautiful. thanks for sharing

That was a great demo John. I would love to go on one of your art tours one day…..perhaps to Italy!
