Silhouette paintings that incorporate giraffes are also much-sought after by discerning art collectors.
But reducing a 6-meter (19 ft) mammal to a 40" x 30" canvas is a pretty daunting task. And even when the artists succeed, many of the uniquely giraffe characteristics are rendered blurry close up.
So it's a good idea to complement these big-picture artworks with the ones that zoom in on the quintessential giraffe features like the:
If you find realism art a little too mundane for you, be sure to check out our abstract and semi-abstract giraffe paintings.
Plus, these giraffe paintings come in oil, acrylic, ink or mixed media on canvas, board or paper so you'll definitely be spoiled for choice.
Watercolor giraffe paintings are sometimes treated as a different genre.
Why?
Watercolor paint boasts color clarity that you'd be hard-pressed to attribute to oil or acrylic.
Plus, because it's water soluble (hence its name), the artist is able to conjure up different shades by progressively adding more water.
And, its transparency makes it extremely versatile from a color clarity and richness perspective.
Watercolor paintings tend to be breathe—they normally consist of one or two subjects and plenty of white space.
So, if you're looking for clutter-free paintings that are easy on the eye, our giraffe watercolors are right up your alley.
Our hand drawn giraffe pencil art features the work of African artists who have honed their photorealism skills...
It is difficult to believe that their giraffe art pieces are actually hand drawn, and with only the good old pencil at that.
Collages remind us of our kindergarten years when we cut up magazine images, newspapers and fabric using blunt scissors and and randomly glued them in a pre-drawn shape on a sheet of paper.
But then again we also painted, sketched, and sculpted in our pre-school years, too, right.
But professional wildlife artists have taken this playful art form several notches up, spurred on by the assurance that each artwork is guaranteed to be a one-of-a-kind.

Africa's wild giraffes don't live in a sterile environment. Thankfully, they co-exist with other wildlife, which have several feathers in their proverbial hats...
The African elephant, for example, isn't just the largest and heaviest land-based mammal, it probably also boasts the best memory in the pulsating realm of African animals.
Couple that with the world's tallest mammal and you have a captivating template that can be brought to life with the outstanding craftsmanship that is prevalent on the African continent.
The result?
Stunning paintings, sketches, statues and collages that cater to you, our esteemed reader, who has upper-end art taste.
So this reality of peaceful coexistence is often captured in elephant and giraffe art where both these African animals co-star—certainly as the main characters—on a single medium such as a canvas or a single-piece wooden sculpture.
