Pee Wee the Elephant - Watercolor Painting Finished!

I also finished Pee Wee this morning, he is 8x8`` and is also done on the Canson Artboard, each painting I do on the board gets easier , it was a little tricky at first but it actually works well with the way I paint. Pee Wee is starring in my next painting also, it is a still life with some fruit, a bowl and of course Pee Wee, I will post some picture after.  i think the thing I like about Pee Wee is his texture, he is solid brass and very old and corroded, it is this rusted marred surface that drew me to him.

Watercolor Painting of Elephant #1 I am working on - Update 3

I worked some more on the larger elephant, I am thinking maybe she should be called Bella. She is much fancier and in much better shape than Pee wee. I started adding some of her shadows and contours, I am liking the background still so I will leave it alone for now :). Hope everyone is having a wonderful night.

Watercolor Painting of Elephant #2 (Pee Wee) I am working on - Update 2

I started working more on his body and worked on the background a bit also, you can start to see where he is starting to get some form. Thank you for stopping in, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! :)

Watercolor Painting of Elephant #2 I am working on - Update 1

This is elephant #2, he is actually quite small in real life and elephant #1 is larger, they are both brass but have a dark patina, the smaller #2 is very old and pitted and rusted almost, love the texture. I did not realize until I looked around that I seem to have quite a few elephants hanging out in my studio. I might call this one Pee Wee, I am not sure yet so if you have a better name let me know :)

Watercolor 16x20. Here is my true love, Rust. I am not sure why but I love the look and feel of it. As you will see I tend to always come back to rusted broken and reclaimed items.
