This painting was created in layers and sections. The process took a couple of months to complete. I used a verity of methods to achieve the texture I wanted. Then I layered in color starting with washes of acrylic and finishing with oil. The unique stripes of zebras make them one of the animals most familiar to people. They live in a variety of habitats, such as grasslands, savannas, woodlands, thorny scrublands, mountains, and coastal hills. Each zebra has its own unique pattern of distinctive stripes, just as humans have their own unique pattern of fingerprints. Closely related to horses, zebras have thick bodies, thin legs, a tufted tail, and a long head and neck sporting a short mane. And their most famous feature? Their brilliant black-and-white striped coat, of course!This painting is number 3 in a series of 4." Copyright Darice Machel McGuire All Rights Reserved "
