Whilst staying in Timbavati in South Africa I saw this elephant eating which inspired the painting. I started by under painting the canvas with Cadmium Orange fine acrylic paint to evoke the heat and dust of South Africa. Then I applied extra water on my brush which I held at the top of the canvas allowing it to drip down. Once dried It was ready to paint the elephants.
