Who else likes elephants? I copied this one from Rembrandt van Rijn's sketch in "The Story of Art" by E.H. Gombrich. But as well as using different materials to Rembrandt, I think my elephant looks younger, more playful and rather less tired and lethargic that the old master’s! #elephant #elephants

Guess which colour I use most... Hope you're having a great day! Sam aka LymphomaLass xx #oilpastels #oilpastelpainting #oilpastelcolours #oilpastelcolors #oilpastel
