"Red"
5x7
Original Watercolor
For Sale: Etsy
I just finished another set of birds with a pair of cardinals and an oriole. They are all posted on Etsy if you want to see "Red" and his mate "Little Red" as well as "Notorious" a northern oriole.
I had the idea to make a mini demo of one of them to share how I paint them. You know, scanning it at various stages of WIP and explaining what I was doing. Of course, the one that I chose to document, a male ruby throated hummingbird, is the one that just did not turn out well! Funny how things go that way. I’ll try again next time.
If you've got a favorite bird you'd like to see or any thoughts on these, let me know. I'd love to hear from you!

Beautiful! The loose, soft colored background makes a nice contrast with the bright, proud bird!
Another lovely bird painting! Will you be doing prints of these also? They would make a great set of note cards.
Thanks for the lovely comments.
I try to keep the background loose for the effect. It's much more difficult than it sounds!
I would love to check into cards and such but don't quite know where to start. I would appreciate any help someone may have there.
Oh, my, THAT'S a pretty fellow...
