Dougalis Wildlifeart-Life studies-Portraits

A Horse portrait in watercolours I did recently while teaching an adult evening class.Attaached also some shots taken by a student and show the progress of the watercolour from the rough drawing to the finished image

Attached a  more detailed life study of a Banteng cow painted in gouache today. I have to do more of these in the future..And..a cow with a calf  plus gesture sketches drawn using sepia fineliners

I spent several hours in the zoo hoping to do a proper watercolour of a Javan Banteng but the only I managed to get is the one of the calf and some half finished sketches..I don`t know why but the cows were exceptionally restless today...

From my visit to the zoo with a good friend yesterday morning. Javan Bantengs, and quick bird studies

Attached this time several portraits I did from life yesterday in the afternoon among with other artists, in Hofgarten-Munich .
We had just 15 minutes to finish every portrait and the time pressure has forced everyone to his limits.. The event has been organized by Andreas Skrzypnik for Drawing from life-Munich https://www.facebook.com/groups/1989676834613576/. Terrific idea!

My Grandpa has been always posed patiently for me in the past, and I did some acceptable portraits over the years. He is going to reach his 103! years soon, and I wanted to share studies from the past as well the most detailed portrait I did of him in acrylics (including progress) few years ago..
