ok here goes with my first post!  Last week many of my students worked on an Eli Halpin inspired project


 

 



 

We started with a step by step contour drawing, then traced it with either a black or brown marker.  Next we took water/brush and began to wet the marker creating some shading and also adding black/brown watercolor with touches of blue or purple.  We also blotted the watercolors to create elephant skin texture.  Backgrounds were filled in with two coats of acrylic paint.  We left the trunks until the end and colored them in with markers then created patterns with sharpies and gel pens.
