Illustration Friday - Safari


This is a quick watercolour monoprint I did for this week's Illustration Friday. The vehicle, tree and giraffe were drawn in with watercolour pencil crayon after the based coats had dried. I think the composition would have accentuated the wide open space, and have been more effective, if I had a wider plate to use.

  1. I think you still captured the "wide open space." --Beautiful colors and very evocative of "safari!"

  3. A very effective image. Great colouring and use of space. Soluble Oil-based crayons also work well as a mono-print medium.
