A Peek In My Sketchbook: Fun Llama Portraits

It is true, the llamas may just be taking over, but I can’t complain as they are just as cute as can be! After paintng a llama for Chanukah, and a llama portrait, I just had to record this llama phase in my sketchbook, and ended up creating a whole llama spread, which is such a fun surprise as one flips through the book. Animal portraits are all the rage, photography wise, but I think they are cute as can be when painted and approached in a more artful manner, which is what you can see here. I have placed my llamas in the Hula Valley, one of my favorite places in Northern Israel, and this was also a good opportunity to have a go at drawing some tiny migrating cranes in the sky. I’ll admit, the second try (keep reading for that) is something I’m really happy with, and that has lead to some pages painted with blue sky and more cranes. I’ll share that with you soon, though in the mean time, have a look at my cute baby llama and the whole gang!
