GIRAFFE APRON

Can it get any cuter than this? Suzanne designed this charming giraffe for your apron. It will be a fun day creating a giraffe who will keep his eye on your brush work and protect your clothes.

Suzanne has so many tricks to teach! This lesson uses the black background to create the shadow areas. You will find painting this long neck easier than it looks.

Giraffes are the tallest animals in the world with a heart that is 2-meters from their head which cannot reach the ground.
