Description
"Leaps and Bounds (The Impala)"
about 23 x 30 inches or so.
Ink, Tea, Coffee, Liquid Gold Leaf, Gold Paint Pen, Colored Pencil, a little Oil pastel, Black Gouache and White Acrylic on white Stonehenge and handmade deckled cream-colored Punjab paper.

I started off with a sketch of the impala on the Stonehenge paper. After inking in the outlines and some initial work on the head, I accidentally tore the paper and rather than throw it all away, I cut out the impala shape, which the tear hadn't reached, and then pasted it on the handmade Punjab paper. Before pasting it on though, I stained the Punjab paper with tea and coffee, which, with the deckled edges, kind of almost gave it an animal hide look.
