This is the second episode in a two-part series on flora and fauna (plants and animals).
Tony displays his drawing of an African elephant, which he made using four pastel pencils. He displays the rough drawings that he made while watching real elephants, which helped him to draw the final picture. He then shows how to draw both a realistic elephant and a cartoon one.
Margot visits Durston House School in Ealing, and makes some large animals out of cardboard, which the children then paint. Back in the studio, Margot shows how the animals can be made to stand up, by attaching extra cardboard on the back.
Alison creates an ostrich on the studio floor, using a pile of junk from a scrap yard.
Finally, Tony uses brush pens and chalk to draw a picture of a kingfisher.

ok..right, correction maybe not as beautiful as Durer's or Michelangelo's studies, but Tony Hart was still better !

Yeah sometimes the sketch is more vibrant than the final drawing or painting because it shows the marks that went into creating the image, and the thinking of the person who created it. The sketch work itself is really beautiful, like the drawings of the great masters in museums e.g. michelangelo, durer, etc..
I absolutely love looking back on this episode, the classic combination of bringing animals and art together!
