I have spaces open in my classes. Please email for times and days.

Each person can learn how to paint at their own rate. That means everyone paints something different.

Bring a photo reference and   I teach you from that. That way, you are not competing with your neighbor.

This method works out well for everyone. 

I teach classes in  OILS on  afternoon 1-4pm and

evening    5:30-7:30pm

Natural Haven of Elephant Unity, oil painting

     

#elephant, #baby, #haven, #oilPainting, #wildlife, #BarbaraHaviland.net

 "Natural Haven of Elephant Unity." This piece, which showcases two elephants standing closely together in a lush, natural setting, holds a special place in my heart. The intimate bond between the elephants is conveyed through their positioning and the detailed brushwork that captures the texture of their skin and the richness of the backdrop. Working predominantly with natural shades of green, brown, and gray, I aimed to create a realistic environment, reminiscent of a forest or savanna.
The inspiration for this painting came from my deep admiration for the gentle giants of the animal kingdom and their strong family bonds. One unique aspect of creating this piece was experimenting with a blend of soft and defined strokes to balance texture and detail, achieving a harmonious and lifelike depiction.
I hope you find this artwork as inspiring and heartwarming as I intended it to be. Thank you for your continued support and interest in my work. Stay tuned for more updates and projects on the horizon.  Measures 16"x8"
