Hello! A week ago I flew back from a trip to Namibia, my first experience of Africa and the desert. A heavy schedule, dry winter season, early sundown, pitch dark cold nights with beautiful, different stars...The long hours spent sitting in the car speeding across dry savannah and deserts have left me with the longing for more time to stop, absorb, learn more. But anyway, when I could, I did sketch. Here are a few samples: the dunes of the Namib desert, beautiful shades of rusty red and dark, blue-gray shadows; the seals in Cape Cross; elephants and rhinos at the Etosha lodge waterholes (more like sitting at theatre than being out there...)...You'll find more details on my blog,check it now and in the next days if you like.
Wonderful pages! I especially enjoy seeing the animals posturing and in their environment. I look forward to seeing more of them!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an amazing, great trip... and beautiful sketches too..
ReplyDeleteWhat an INCREDIBLE trip, Concetta! Beautiful sketches of animals in their natural habitat.
