Black Rhino Print - Limited Edition of 50

I am African born and raised enjoying the game reserves of Kenya, South Africa and Botswana. As an avid conservationist with a passion for wildlife, I want to bring awareness to the dwindling numbers of the Black Rhino. This private animal is a rare sighting these days and I hoped to capture a moment in time where this proud animal is standing it's ground in open space, caked in mud having enjoyed a luxurious mud bath. I studied drawing and painting and combine the two using Indian Ink, a calligraphy pen and applying rough pen marks and carefully placed washes. This technique offers photo realism from afar but close up, an exciting and surprising study in line.
