Getting started
In class last week I made the underdrawing of this painting and today I began the first layers of wash. I have a long way to go and will probably only work on it during class time, but I haven't totally wrecked it yet so plan to continue. It's in the finch family, but not local to these parts.
I enjoy painting birds and probably should do it more often. The shapes are manageable and I enjoy the many who come to our feeders.

You're off to a very good start on this bird. I don't enjoy drawing birds much except for owls. I love owl faces and the shapes of their bodies.
ReplyDeleteI like to draw birds because I can! The shapes are simple and obvious so the difficult part is making realistic feathers and other specific features.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great start; I would almost even call it finished!
