Animals and Watercolors

Well, it's been quite sometime since I've last posted here. I have a feeling I'll be posting more frequently with the work I've been doing in school though. I'm excited! 

This year I'm taking a class called Animals in Motion, where each class we take a trip up to the Central Park Zoo or, more frequently it seems, the Bronx Zoo and paint animals in water color. Although it's not my best medium, I still enjoy it and it's been helping me tremendously. I've let go of small details, even when animation or drawing, and I've been focusing more on the movement and the big picture. That's huge for me. Plus I get to draw/paint animals for hours too. 

Here are some paintings I've done so far from the Madagascar, Jungle World and Bird exhibits at the Bronx Zoo:
