I drew the meerkats during a trip to Dubbo and often a lone meerkat can be found standing lookout keeping the family group safe. The colours were inspired by the deep colours of an African sunset.
The acrylic inks were dropped onto a layer of water on yupo paper. Each layer of inks was allowed to spread and dry naturally. The meerkat was painted over the top in acrylic paint. Highlights are added with metallic ink to show key features of the meerkat. The artwork is finished with coats of varnish and then matted professionally. Artwork Size is 25.4 x 32.9 cm and matted size is 35.4 x 42.9 cm.
