Graphite, watercolours, acrylics.
'Greenfinch', Graphite, in sketchbook.
'Greenfinch'. Watercolour, in sketchbook.
'Greenfinch', watercolour, loose sheet, 7.5 by 11 ins.
'Australian budgerigar'. Watercolours, in sketchbook.
'African yellow hornbill'. Acrylics, 8 by 11 ins, orange paper.
Some graphite drawings, some watercolour sketches to figure out colours, and techniques, e.g., whether to paint over a graphite sketch, or put washes straight on blank paper with no underdrawing.
As you can see, I am still experimenting.
The last painting is a bit of an odd-man-out. It was one I had started many years ago and this week, I just added a few paint strokes to complete the portrait.
Birds are becoming an addiction!
Have a fun weekend.
Bye for now.....

Lovely birds, especially love the greenfinch and the last one is bold and beautiful.
Happy weekend to you and Susie xx
Oh my-these are all so beautiful. I love the last one for a few reasons-it's a great painting but also you did the background greenery so well!!! I am so B A D at that....I can't seem to get the shadows and highlights correct. Birds inspire me too!
