Elephant On Toilet - Dot painting

Elephant On Toilet dot painting at impossible scale

An elephant perched where an elephant plainly cannot fit, unbothered by the physics. The joke works because the animal is drawn seriously, folds and all.

Nothing drips and nothing needs to dry, and pausing mid-fold costs you nothing. Dot painting works as an easygoing sibling of diamond painting.

What is in the dot painting kit

Everything you need comes in one box:

• Printed canvas: firm, easy to read.
• Guide: straight to the practical bits.
• Double-tip markers:
  • 1.0 mm tip: for the big body and the toilet.
  • 0.5 mm tip: for the wrinkles, the eye and the tusks.

Hours of steady dotting

All that hide makes a long stretch of repetitive work, which for many people is the whole reason to sit down with a canvas.

One wet weekend can cover much of the elephant, or a midweek pause can handle just the tusks. A dot art painting kit with everything included.

Weight against a hard edge

The porcelain stays even and open while the elephant goes dense and irregular. That contrast sells the size difference.

Stacked dots add relief to every wrinkle. A bold subject like this earns a wall of its own.
