Painting.

This is an acrylic painting on watercolor paper that I painted today. I used two different pictures I had taken for references. Not finished yet, but I will leave it overnight and look at it tomorrow and decide what I need to do.
It's looking good so far! The feathering is very nice.

Fabulous - great placement of subject - love the arrangement of vertical, horizontal lines which contrast nicely with the organic form of the bird.

Stopped by to say thank you to another 365 friend and saw this. This is wonderful! I wish I could paint like this! Of course, if I could, I'm not sure I would get anything else done! This is beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Nice painting. It is looking great so far. Did you have to dilute the acrylic paints to use the watercolor paper?
November 16th, 2010  
Oh, its so beautiful. You have a special affinity with birds, don't you? It's lovely, and it made me smile. Thank you so much for sharing it.

@markbuehl Mark I spray the acrylics with a mist of water, thins it a little. I put a coat of white gesso on the watercolor paper.

@phxjanice Janice, I sat with a friend and painted for about 4 hours. I had already put the green on the background and drew a sketch of the fence and bird. The time consuming job was done. Painting was easy. Thanks.

Jenna, it just takes practice like anything else. You could do it. The fun of painting is not how it looks when done, its the enjoyment of doing it.

Your work is so beautiful, both the painting & photography! It is quite inspiring to view your images and at first glance I thought is was a photo of a real bird! Very much looking forward to more of your work!! :)
