Elephant in the Savanna

"Elephant in the Savanna" invites you to color at a relaxed pace. Nature motifs are especially calming. The organic shapes of flowers, leaves, and landscapes encourage layering different shades. Feel free to look up a photo of the real subject first, but it's not required.

For the elephant, use gray-brown tones and work with shading on the legs and trunk to create depth. You can sketch the skin with light pencil grades and then color it in. The acacia tree becomes particularly vibrant with warm yellow tones and dark green – paint the crown loosely and with texture. The savanna needs sandy yellow, light brown, and occasional green tones for grasses. Use orange and red tones on the horizon for an authentic African sunset and give the motif atmosphere and warmth.
