Watercolor Painting of Green
Snake
One of the most difficult media which many artists often experience is watercolor. Watercolor painting is not easy to be mastered. The above painting is about Green Snake in Tangkoko National Park. It is a protected tropical rainforest area located in North Sulawesi. There we can see not only such snake but also various kinds of animals such as babi rusa, monkeys, and a lot of beautiful birds. The green snake shown in this painting came out of its hiding at night to find food. Although the snake look dangerous with its tongue jutted out of its mouth, actually it is not a venomous snake. Such species can also be found in Maluku, Papua and many other islands in Indonesia.
The message that I want to convey to all of
you who read this website is that inside an
area of tropical rainforest, there are a lot
of exotic and rare animals that we have to
preserve. They are now facing extinction due
to rapid deforestation that occurs
throughout the Indonesian archipelago.
