Artwork- Zebra Zensations Technical Pen and American Journey Watercolor on a Hahnemühle Coldpress Watercolor Postcard. Thanks to Fabrizio Frigeni for sharing their work on Unsplash.
Did you know that the Blue Wildebeest often migrates with Zebras; a symbiotic relationship because zebras have better memories for safe passages, and wildebeest can smell out water better?
This painting rapidly got darker than I meant it to. I expected more color shift, but my mix of Prussian Blue and Burnt Sienna stayed pretty true to the original color!

I love the brilliance of the purple in this one.
Many thanks, Margret! Using lavender and orchid for shadows really brightens up a painting.
I love the explanation of the symbiotic relationship between the wildebeest and the zebra! Such good collaboration among fellow travelers! I too, love that luscious lavender highlight. And I don’t think it’s at all too dark, the colors are wonderfully dramatic for our shaggy friend. Well done!
Thank you Judy! It always amazes me how animals cooperate. We’re finding more about that, like badgers working with coyotes to catch rodents and ravens leading wolves to prey.
So theirs is a partnership. They compliment each other. Cool!
Thank you, Alice! Scientists are finding that animals cooperate with other species far more than we used to think.
