The rock shapes I chose for these adorned, painted elephants were:
- Round, roly-poly stone (left)
- Loaf shape (center)
- Triangular (right)
My first step was to paint the elephants without any colorful garments. To help with the proportions and shading I referred to Lin Wellford's book - Painting Zoo Animals on Rocks.
