Check out my Painting of the Zebra Optical Illusion!!

This is the last video of the Chalkwalk episodes. Here's a description of what I am doing. First off, I started from the top blending in the black hairs in its mane. The leaves are finished, so applying the tape to accent the trunk of the tree helps keep it straight. I am trying hard to finish the whole upper part of my painting so I wont smear it after it's blended.

Made short abrupt strokes of light brown, of the trunk to give it more texture. The grass blades were long pulls of med. green. I finished the bottom with them, to fill in the bottom. Leaving the top open created a larger illusion. The darker corners at the top, lead your eyes to the vocal point the zebra.

Hope everyone enjoyed watching these as I got the uploaded. It's been so fun hearing the positive responses. The next event I have is coming up. So I will be sure to record them also. The white tiger final vid will be made soon.
