I’ve been busily working on my second elephant painting for the Mali in the City event “Here today…” I’ve finally finished,  so I’ve updated this post with the photos I got of the process.

The original concept

Blocking out the large areas

Undercoating the important areas

Adding a bit of detail and working out the placement of elements

Same as above, different angle

Started to add detail to the eye area

Wrinkle progress

More depth added to the sides

Vultures and skulls added

Vulture detail

Varnish applied to the face

Final varnish applied to the elephant. She’s now ready for her photo-shoot with her sponsor, Deakin University!
