Sketches

The two relatively simple monkey sketches below are for practice. The first is of a nihonzaru (Japanese macaque or snow monkey).

This next sketch is of a golden snub-nosed monkey.

Demonstration Painting

My model was the monkey in the Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga scroll (emaki) shown in unit 12.1. In my painting guidance, I refer to a warifude stroke. That is a stroke in which the bristles of the brush have been spread apart.
