Statement from Pippa’s teacher:
“Pippa loves art and has been creating ever since she could hold a crayon. This piece is Pippa’s drawing of a Svalbard Reindeer, which accompanied her written research report on Norwegian beasts. Pippa used colored pencils and a reference photo to create this piece. She used blending and shading to great effect here, and have the reindeer a warm personality with a glint in its eye. Note the fun detail of the plant stuck atop the right antler!”
