Watercolor painting by Sujay Sanan.
Sujay Sanan is an artist who draws his inspiration from the plants and animals of South Africa’s Wastern Cape wilderness. His distinctive works feature the outline of an animal filled in with intricate watercolor landscapes. About his work, Sanan explained “My works document landscapes seen through the species that inhabit them. Some of the places I have painted are familiar and close to where I live, while in others I have found myself as a momentary visitor. While these works document what I fear might be lost, they are also filled with optimism.”
Your challenge this week is to develop a drawing or painting featuring the outline of an animal and fill it with details from the environment where it lives. You might pick an animal that is native to where you live, an animal from a place far away, or one from your imagination.
