Painted birds of different feathers.
I continue with the bird theme after last week’s post, When Birdsong is Silenced.
This week, I painted birds in two different styles. Although I much prefer painting in acrylics, I do enjoy my watercolours and markers on days when I want something that will be quick to finish and easy to clean up.
Bird on leafy branch is painted using a photo reference from Joshua J. Cotten unsplash. Similarly, Bird with Berries is from a photo taken by Vincent van Zalinge and both photos are copyright free.
More painted birds: whimsical watercolour birds.
One evening, while I watched a movie on Netflix, I painted and embellished a whole bunch of watercolour birds. This was just a fun way to get some art done quickly without too much thought. You can see that these birds follow the same basic pattern using different colours.
Finally, I am still working on decorative and functional birdhouses for my yard. The triangular birdhouse was made by my father a few decades ago.
Nice bird studies Louise
Thank you Vivienne.
I’m loving your birds Louise, and impressed that you did them so quickly. I’d be forever trying to make each feather lol!
Sally, I worked on the acrylic ones over several days whereas the watercolour birds were done within maybe a couple of hours as I had to let the watercolours dry first. I have been trying to sort of keep within a theme these last few weeks. It helps to get more done especially since I try different techniques. Thanks for stopping by!
Wonderful watercolor paintings of these fun, feathered friends! Thanks for sharing, Louise 🙂
Thanks Phil!
