This is a commissioned work, but I thought you would enjoy the process- from a quick sketch to the finished product. Of course there were several more stages with small changes, then a few corrections here and there, but mainly it went very smoothly.
I told my client that I never thought I would "fall in love with rhinos", but I sure did while painting this. There is something about really- I mean really- looking at an animal, or in this case, the adult female and her calf.
My intentions were to paint it with thicker paint strokes, but as I went, I developed a passion to see these guys more realistic, but still maintain a painterly style.
I hope you will enjoy my work. Thank you for reading my blog and especially joining as a follower!
