Elephant PDF

Description

This Elephant painting PDF will take you through the entire process, from applying the background to painting the elephant, and finishing off with the leafy branch being eaten.

African Elephants are the largest walking animals on our planet. Their ears are bigger than that of the Indian Elephant, and enable them to radiate excess heat. Their tusks are actually two of their upper incisor teeth, and they continue to grow throughout the elephant’s lifetime.

This project is challenging, we are working with a lot of detail, and some painting experience would be very beneficial. That said, the project is broken into small manageable steps, so less experienced artists may want to try an element of the painting, or practise the different stages separately. This is a project that will stretch over several days, and this gives an opportunity to continually reassess the whole piece with fresh eyes on more than one occasion.

This is an instant PDF download, you could start painting this Elephant in a matter of minutes. You don’t even need to wait for the post to arrive! You will receive a 52-page PDF document. Set out in the same way as the tutorials I write for magazines. However, you get lots more large photos of the different stages.

Downloadable lessons enable you to work at your own speed, you can dip in and out of the content, you can spend time studying the fine details and practise the various techniques as often as you like.

Have fun with this lesson, take your time and let me know how you get on. Try printing off the last few pages which have the larger versions of the step-by-step photos for additional help.
