Ever wonder how on earth you create wrinkly skin? All those lines and details building up to such texture can be overwhelming. Watch how I create elephant skin and learn my tricks!
This painting took me 6.5 hours to complete as part of my January challenge to paint an animal each day and document it on video for you.
Currently, I am now working on a fluffy fox for #7! It is almost complete, and I am hoping to finish #8 humpback whales also today, and hopefully, my painting numbers can begin to match my dates again lol

4/8 paintings have now sold in this challenge! That is crazy!! It officially means January 2022 was a better month than December 2021 in my art business! November was my best month in 2021 for the Christmas rush last year though, got to get ahead of the shipping game ;)

This is amazing! Where do you get your reference photos?

@ArtistSarahMcCombTurbitt 2 жыл бұрын

A few places!! For this challenge, because the animals were voted on live, I used Unsplash (unsplash.com/) and Pixabay (pixabay.com/) mostly as free options - defiantly check out those sites! & A few other photos I had from biologist & photographer friends! I prefer to work with small photographers for all my regular paintings because collaborating helps both of us out and you can make really great paintings with their rejected photography, so your painting is more one-of-a-kind. But it does take a lot of sorting through images and editing them myself so more time-intensive.

Thanks Den Den! Currently I just have the one skillshare class out from 2021 (trailer is posted here with a link for a free 2 weeks, and also available through my website smccombturbitt.com) but I plan on releasing more courses soon! I may start live coaching small groups but this would start early 2023. If that is something you are interested in, sign up for my email newsletter through my website and it will keep you posted. I try for a monthly update but lately its every few months with the baby on the way haha. Thanks for watching!
