Giraffes

Today we painted giraffes! We started with a photo of 3 giraffes and I told everyone that they could use just one or 2 and/or rearrange the animals. Some people brought their own references to work from. We found giraffes very peaceful animals to paint! Someone noted that they kind of "glide" when they move. In the zoo, they never seem to be in a hurry. It's very neat to watch them move their heads atop those long necks! Below are the paintings painted today. Thank you to my watercolor class for graciously agreeing to my photographing and posting their work!
