Thank you Sally, Mea, Natalie, Dennis and Bella for your very kind and encouraging comments.
Dennis,  :2funny: I wonder if Santa needs a hearing aid.  Sometimes I think he just has selective hearing.

Jill, I have hearing aids and I'm a past master at adjusting to "selective" hearing -   especially in a class situation :whistle: :2funny: :2funny:

I have just reviewed 20 pages of Kudu-mania before starting my version of the kudu doe.

I found all of your paintings delightful and look forward to an enjoyable lesson.

Hope to post mine tomorrow.  I will be using a 24-set of Prismacolor Premier.  No kidding, it says the parent company is Rubbermade!

I'm off to visit Dennis on the laptop screen.

I loved this lesson.  I am so happy with my kudu, even if he's not perfect.  Closer than I ever thought it'd be!


I did not have a dark enough green for those long stems.  I think I did a great job on the tuft on his back end.  I am so pleased that I took the time to look at all the other great versions of this that others did.  I learned from everyone of them.

Dennis - this was such a fun class.  I am sold on the WC pencils and will get a better set with more colors.  Thank you so much for offering this lesson.

As always, I welcome suggestions for improvement.

Very well done, Mea :clap: :clap: :clap: I just hav a problem with the right side of the  body. The lines are too straight and have flattened out the body. There should be a curling towards the bottom left to indicate the rounding of the body. O0

Dennis - oh, yes, I see that now.  I should not have finished it late last night, but I couldn't stop myself.  Will try to fix it.  Thanks.

Sherri and Natalie, Thanks.  I had dreams of the little guy all night.  What a cute and bright-looking animal.  I may frame him as my painting mascot.

Thanks, Danielle. 

I'm introducing my friends to animal they had never heard of.  We can learn so much through art - geography, flora, fauna, etc.
