Morning everyone<\/p>\n

I just realised that I hadn’t blogged my most recent mixed media piece…Bibbles the Elephant.<\/p>\n

This really was a ‘lets see what happens’ piece, using lots of different media and I’m really chuffed with how she came out. \u00a0I fancied painting an elephant but not in the traditional way using just acrylics but with lots of different media. \u00a0After lots of layering, her trunk seemed to pop out from the background and that was my basis for her shape.<\/p>\n

Apparently her colours are even more beautiful up close \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Would love to know what you think….<\/p>\n

Have a great week.<\/p>\n
