Leaps and Bounds (The Impala)
Leaps and Bounds-The Impala : about 23 × 30 inches or so. I started off with a sketch of the impala on the Stonehenge paper. After inking in the outlines and some initial work on the head, I accidentally tore the paper and rather than throw it all away, I cut out the impala shape, which the tear hadn’t reached, and then pasted it on the handmade Punjab paper. Before pasting it on though, I stained the Punjab paper with tea and coffee, which, with the deckled edges, kind of almost gave it an animal hide look. I kept the colors to strictly browns, gold, creams, ivory and black for an overall earthy tone. Some WIPS and the final artwork below:
