Silver Elephant
Looking forward to painting with you on March 19!
You will not only create a painting from start to finish in my class, but you will also find the answers to these questions:
- How do I make my elephant’s expression to appear kind?
- How do I paint wrinkles?

8. Tips
You can print this drawing guide out, and color the back of the paper entirely with charcoal or pastel, and then lay this paper on top of your canvas to trace with a pencil.
