About this work

This painting shows two animals floating in a blue, wavy mess. One looks like an elephant, the other like a whale. The background is mostly light blue with swirly lines, like water or smoke. The colors are soft and faded, with a few darker spots on the elephant. The text at the bottom names two real animals: *Elephas maximus* (an elephant) and *Coryphaena hippurus* (a dolphin-like fish). The artist mixed paint with foam toys and ink to make this look. Next, check out how artists use gouache—it’s a paint that’s easy to blend.
