Let’s start with the best places where a wildlife photographer can get the maximum inspiration. Well, if you want to discover some of the best secrets of Brazil then head out to Pantanal where you can discover the best wildlife. Placed at the heart of South America, Pantanal is the world’s largest wetland which covers an area of 210,000 sq km. Well to add more live to your picture you have the great Amazon rain forest with a variety of jaguars and alligators. All you should do is to just find that perfect spot for your perfect shot. What’s more, add some more essence as you breathe in the tropical air that carries a raw scent of nature. Also, pause the flight of some birds like flocks of egrets, storks, and spoonbills in your lenses.
Antarctica: Trips aboard expedition vessels typically depart from Patagonia with some departures accompanied by TV cameramen or ‘celebrity’ photographers such as Chris Packham and Mark Carwardine. It’s worth researching who will be joining your trip to make your decision. Zodiac boats take you on snowshoeing excursions, while evenings might see you attending fascinating onboard lectures. Every ship offers viewpoints on deck from where you might see whales, penguins and huge seal colonies.
I hope to be able to produce at least 24 paintings in 24 hours and all of the originals produced during the 24 hours will be given to the highest donators who have donated more than £30, with the most generous donator getting first choice and so on. My theme for the event is African wildlife and as many of you know, I do love to paint big cats, so there will be some big cats in the originals produced on the day. You can follow me live as I complete my paintathon challenge as I will be doing live video feeds via facebook and Instagram throughout the 24 hours and posting regularly on both with updates on my progress Facebook @Vanessa.Grundy.Artist Instagram @vlgstudios. And of course, you can follow my progress and find out more on here. Discover more details at Wildlife Mugs.
I believe transparency is super important with my customers, and so I will soon be setting up a new page on my website illustrating the causes that we will be supporting including the total amount of donations that have been made through product purchases by customers! Between now and the 10th of January, all profits from sales made on my website will be donated to the emergency fund at WIRES (NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service Inc.) which is being used to help rescue sick, injured, or orphaned wildlife affected by the ongoing bushfires.
