Charcoal drawings of animal life at night. This post contains some of the works of French / Finnish Artist Ariane Relander. She produces different types of animal art. The ones I have chosen for your Monday page, are the nocturnal goings on, of animals in nature. Looking at the illustrations, I get the feeling of the forest at night and the absence of sound making any little noise amplified in its surroundings. Sketches that hint at the animal's form. Realistic detailing is swapped for silhouettes, which move quietly though the night and experience nature in a totally different way than when it's flooded in daylight. Ps. I gave the images some titles. Nighttime bear and flowers. Press the Image to Enlarge it. Nighttime deer and fawn. Press the Image to Enlarge it. Nighttime black swan. Press the Image to Enlarge it.
