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.
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!
@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.
@jennarichards@ellen Thank you for the kind words.
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!! :)
Thanks for the very kind words I do appreciate it.
@justkariherself I really do love birds and painting. So it works. :-) @mama Thank you for such kind words. Learning to paint is like anything else. Tons of practice. You should try. :-)
Now I am really impressed. I can't paint at all and I love this. It is really cool to combine these two art forms.
Thanks everyone for your kind words. My head is swelling a bit. :-)
