Ink sketch with Pilot Black Fineliner and W&N colour wash in my Moleskine 200gsm (A4) 'Nature Journal'
Another sketch of one of the Impala grazing close to the road in the Krugersdorp Game Reserve. A drive through this Game Reserve reveals all sorts of treasures. We also spotted a huge Mountain tortoise in the distance behind the Impala herd and it seemed to be heading straight for the water-hole, where there was also a flock of South African Shelduck (Tadorna cana), making quite a noise over something in the water, probably a Hippo, although we didn't see it.
Wonderfully captured sketch, Maree!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful things you get to see and sketch. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Kathryn, glad you like it!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Elva! But do you know how I'm dying to sketch a DEER or a MOOSE?!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how we all long to see those things that we don't have access to? Maree, you are helping the rest of us see things we've never dreamed of. Thanks for that! Do Impalas pronk? Great sketch. Your nature journal is really going to be special when it's filled.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Maree! And yes, that's one of the best things about this blog, getting to see the world through the eyes of other artists, things we may NEVER get to see in person...
ReplyDeleteAaah Paula, thank you! but the same goes for all the lovely, unusual images I get to see here that I would never otherwise!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kate! And you're SO right See the unknown plants and your stunning fall colours is really amazing!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say Paula, I don't think Impala pronk, only the Springbuck...
