I cannot wait to start the next. I tried a new surface for this and used an Ampersand panel. And WOW! I LOVE them. I have gone and bought a ton more. Super smooth for all that fine detail and it works so well with my airbrush which is how I did the background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The full time lapse video will be uploaded tomorrow \ud83d\ude00 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;The Heights of Africa&#8217;<br>8&#8243; x 10&#8243; Acrylic on panel with airbrush background<br>Photo reference: Russ Bridges<br>SOLD<br><br>I made the artwork unique and I always try and make my art different and never copy photos exact. For this piece I really did change the colour, the hue and that was to ensure he fitted in with the background I wanted. I knew the background with that glow and my first attempt at a bokeh background. The big change from the reference was the Giraffe had his tongue out and his mouth partly open. I wanted the more serious pose so decided to paint his mouth closed without the tongue. I have planned a new experimental piece&#8230; That will be great for a tongue out project! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am really sorry for not posting the past what was probably a week!
