The Elephant In The Room

Ok...

...I found a thing that will blow...your...mind! No, really.... watch the awesome:

 This was posted onto Yootoob (yes, I know, but that's how my cat spells it... enough... shush now...) by the lovely people at Jackson's Art Supplies.  I've seen videos of elephants painting before but NOTHING like this! I've watched it a good dozen times and can't see any fakery. Aside from the fact that this elephant paints better that a helluva lot of humans I've seen, she actually paints a proper PICTURE - with an eye for composition! And watch again how she uses different brush stroke techniques (most noticeably evident when she paints 'pointy' grass.) It's incredible.

I just thought I'd share this with you mainly because it's AWESOME, but also because I'd like to recommend that you check out Jackson's Art Supplies Yootoob channel. They post a number of short but very helpful product test videos which are useful if you're selecting new items for your art supply stash. And before you ask - no I'm not affiliated in any way with Jackson's, it's just that I feel that one should give credit where credit is due, and these guys are just about the most all-round reliable and helpful artist's store I've found thus far and I'm always massively grateful when someone recommends a shop based on their own experience.

I've been working hard to catch up on stuff for Etsy so I'll be back soon with product picks - and in the meantime, don't forget the special
