Another quick post today, because my free Netflix trail ends soon and it’s very important that I see every episode of ‘Lost in Space’!
A fully grown dik-dik is about 12-16 inches tall at the shoulders, weighing 7-15 pounds. Fortunately, they can also run about 26 miles an hour, because their small size makes them a favorite snack size for predators.
I was goofing off last night, but I do have several projects to complete before Christmas and I know everyone else is going to be crazy busy. I decided that I’m going to cut down my posts to 3-4 times a week until after the first of the year. Hopefully, that will give me more time to do more interesting posts.
How do you like the DaVinci gouache? Seems it has a nice range of colors, but I’ve not yet tried those. I like your painting of this interesting animal, dik dik, anotther one new to me. You’re wise to adjust your posts, because I look forward to seeing your new Christmas projects! I hope you didn’t miss Lost in Space! I, too, am a sci-fi junkie. We’ve been re-watching the entire Star Wars series before seeing the new one that comes out next month!
I haven’t made up my mind about the Da Vinci yet because so far this is all I’ve done with them. I only bought four colors, Magenta, Violet, Burnt Sienna and Raw Sienna to round out the colors from the Holbein set. They are a great deal because they come in 37 ml tubes. My first impression is that they are not quite as vibrant or quick to re-wet as the Holbein or Miya gouache, but that could be because none of the colors are vibrant pigments. I want to really give them a test like I did with the Holbein, but I only got them yesterday. Charlie is going to ask them if they’d be interested in having a review done so I may get more of them.
he is so cute!!! I need one for Christmas!!!
Thank you, Alice! If you lived in Africa, you might be able to get a Dik dik for Christmas. Here, not so much.
