Nine Bird Watercolours Complete

I actually completed them in November last year and they have been safely delivered to a thrilled client! They are all painted on white 300gsm Bockingford watercolour paper. In some instances I was able to use my own photographs as references, filling in detail from web images. For others I used, with permission, photographs by local well-known bird photographer, Hugh Chittenden.

Being a bird lover (Besides my four parrot-pets, I am currently raising an orphaned Cape Wagtail, hoping to release it back into the garden), it was really a joy to paint these birds. I plan to do more bird watercolours - maybe soon, as I have a commission for three mixed media artworks with birds as a theme!
