Largest Sand and Snow Drawing in the World

Painters know how to pick a good canvas to express their imagination and not all of them prefer to sit in front of a blank canvas for long hours to express what lay inside their head. In this post, we are going to discuss that painter and his name is Jim Denevan, a painter who currently made the largest snow drawing in the world.
Jim denevan himself is an impermanence painter and his canvas is a beach, dry land, and snowy dry lakes. Unlike other painters, Jim Denevan’s masterpiece could not last more than a week. Usually, once Jim completed his artwork, waves, wind, or rain would erase his long-hours work completely.
 In the last view years, Jim Denevan had made giant overwhelming impermanence paintings in Oregon beaches, California beaches, and Spanish Bank beach of Vancouver and His team never forgot to document his drawings that only last for view hours or days.

With his artwork, Jim already set a record as a painter who drew the largest sand and snow drawing in the world. His last snow drawing in a Frozen Lake in Baikal-Siberia was the one that is larger than any impermanence drawing he made during his career. The size of his painting on the Siberia’s frozen lake was 9 square miles and it was larger than Jim’s sand drawing in Nevada’s dry lake that was only 3 miles across.

To draw the 3 miles wide sand drawing Jim should walk 100 miles to pattern the face of the dry lake with his vehicle and tools.
Amazingly, all his impermanence drawings are freehand. In other words, He used no measuring apparatus or devices. To locate the center of his drawing, he merely used a stick and his hard work start from that point.

For his drawing in Lake Baikal that is titled Chronicle of the anthropologist, Jim only required the help of eight crews. Although Warm Siberian tundra had melted Jim’s ephemeral drawing after view hours, it was good that his documentary filmmakers and photographers did their jobs well.
The following pictures are some of some of Jim’s documentation images on Lake Baikal. Enjoy it and I hope the pictures are big enough for you.
