Zebras

9x12 watercolor and inks on paper done in 2014 as an assignment homework for Sketchbook Skool. Encouragement was given to visit a zoo or natural history museum to render animals from life.  If you had no such around you were to use toy figurines, a practice I've been doing for many years.  I had a mare and baby zebra so used those with the poses you see here.  At the end watercolor was splattered and washed at random, then letter stamps used to spell out zebra.
