This is a larger canvas that I normally use, eg A3 or A4 or in between - Larger canvas allows more animals without being squashed up. Downside a loose weave.
Chose Sarengeti just before sundown as this was the best choice for a larger painting. Allows changes of Hue to make light changes more noticable.
This a " semi silhouette " painting wgich allows for more light to be used.
