Sketching Animals - Sketching Zoo Animals

From Ed Hall

If you want to use color to study animals in the field I would suggest using quick drying and quick application mediums such as watercolor, colored pencil, pastel, or colored conte crayon. Oils don’t work very well at the zoo as they are slow drying and can be messy. Instead, use your studies as a color guide post to create a more involved oil painting back at the studio.
