Pens: Noodlers Flex Nib and Pentel waterbrush
My friend Judith asked me if I would draw her a Hippo as they are one of her favourite animals. I finally got around to drawing this one for her 40th Birthday which is in two weeks time. The Noodler's Golden Brown ink that I used was not as waterproof as I had expected and I tried to incorporate the brown stains into the watercolour. She likes the result and will get it framed when she returns to Ireland from her holiday in Spain.
This is a really nice painting!
ReplyDeleteWhat is stronger, a Hippopotamus or a Hypothalamus? :)
PS. Your profile photo is new, very creative!
Thanks Magyarix....If I was being chased...I would prefer to be chased by a hypothalymus than a Hippopotamus unless the hypothalymus actually belonged to the Hippopotamus.
ReplyDeleteLove it.
ReplyDeleteYour friend is very lucky!
I don't know how I missed your last IF post - hilarious!!
This is a nice painting, I especially like the interplay of approaches: line, tone and spatter.
ReplyDeletePalette is nice and subtle.

I like it. As Richard stated, the palette is very nice. I love such colors!
