Orangutan (watercolour) & Turtle (pastel, in progress) by Tess - grade 5

                  
Here are two more great pieces  by Tess.  Tess took several sessions to complete the turtle, and I think her efforts really paid off!   Notice her use of light and shadow, giving the boxy, rather cumbersome form of the turtle's shell an almost three dimensional effect.   I also like her use of colour and broken line along the throat and legs to describe the pebbled texture of the turtle's skin.    And the ladybug in the foreground adds a touch of fun!
