Zoo Elephants

9x12 watercolor with walnut ink on Canson 140 lb cold press paper; other colors used were raw umber and Payne's grey. Sketch done with Staedtler 0.3 pigment liner pen in black. This limited palette I think captured the elephant hide hues well and walnut ink provided the dusty clouds. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026

Trunk

8x5 ink sketch in sketchbook done last month using Uniball Vision Elite pen for #inktober2025 day 14. The prompt for artists doing the month long ink sketches was "trunk", and you could interpret it any way you wanted. I chose the magnificent elephant and its amazing trunk. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2025
