Todays lesson was based on the recent passing of the last male northern white Rhino. It saddened me so much I wanted to do a painting as a remembrance to this amazing animal.
The techniques for todays lesson can be used a number of ways such as a painting, jewellery (using the rhino head) or even a t-shirt which is what I've decided to do.
2. I then traced more rhino heads and cut them out to make a pile.
3.With the pile of rhino heads I then stuck them all together to make a 3D image. I then used Jane Davenport watercolours Neutral palette to paint the Rhino head.
4. I then used darker colours for the contrast and coloured pencils for definition. I drew a circle in the background as I wanted to frame the head in some way.
5. Next step was to create some flowers I decided to use FW acrylic ink in turquoise and deep blue for the background to give it contrast.
6. I then used my fingers rather than brushes for the flowers because I like the natural results it produces. I used mainly KAISERcolour paints in a number of different shades of pinks, yellow and orange with dashes of white.
7. I used the FW Acrylic artist ink to paint a background.
8. I then added the flowers around the rim of the circle.
This is the final image and I wanted to see what it would look like on a t-shirt so I used a t-shirt mock up and used photoshop for the placement.
