Elephant’s Eye Study

Description

An elephant’s eyes are located on the side of the head, this gives better peripheral vision, compared to our eyes that are focused on the front of our face, and give us good binocular vision. Their eyes are about 3.8 cm in diameter, and come in different colours, mainly brown, light brown, honey and grey, although other colours have been known to occur occasionally. Interestingly, an elephant can only see short distances, up to about 20 m. However, their sense of smell, touch and hearing more than makes up for their lack of vision.

I have used the finest brushes to produce the tiny details which bring this painting to life.
The painting will be carefully wrapped in cellophane and protected with additional packing. I aim for my originals to arrive with you in the same condition that they left me. I use the Royal Mail’s ‘Signed for Next Day’ or ‘International Tracked’ service.

A bit about me:
I am a full time professional artist based in North Devon in the United Kingdom. Specialising in wildlife – animals, birds, insects and botanical studies, I love to capture the life within my paintings. I very much enjoy the process of working with the watercolour medium to create fine detail. My portfolio is ever expanding and many of my paintings are available as tutorials – both written and video. Take a look on my channels, and you may see this painting being created, maybe even have a go yourself!
Thank you for browsing my work, and I look forward to hearing from you.
