The Bachelors

Again with the water I know ... This was going to be quite a detailed painting but as I built up layer upon layer of colours that weren't naturally found in a reference photo, it became more impressionistic. I guess we'll call it representual. I titled it The Bachelors simply because Wildebeasts are one of the most Homely of all the creatures that occupy Africa. How could they find a mate with faces like that ... Hahaha The stud muffins.

Ha-ha! Wildebeasts are indeed quite ugly but I guess they don't know any better. I like how you are experimenting with colors. This is great.

Nice treatment of the hair and overall an excellent oil. The reflections in the water work well. Nice work John.
