Buffalo

Another study, this time of an American buffalo. Yes, yes, we know it is really a bison, but as any linguist will tell you, usage dictates correctness and not the other way around.

I mean, c'mon! Bison Bill?

This rendering is in acrylics, but a type of acrylic where the drying time is slowed down by modifying the formulas for the paints. There are patents which describe the new slower drying formulations, but we will not weary the reader with the details.
