HI, well I've been working on the heron and I just finished it.(He's a Great Blue Heron.We have them everywhere here on the Eastern Shore.) I like it, I didn't like the black feathers coming down his side in the first photo so I used more than one photo for reference and really do like the way it turned out. It has a wonderful backwash in the black feathers. Watercolor seems to me to capture feathers and fur better than oil. What do you think? take care and talk to you soon, Diana
He is absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh, What do I think? He is fantastic, GReat Blue Herons are all over here in Florida.. Honestly I just was 5 feet away from one in my back yard before I wrote this... . beautiful painting Diana
ReplyDeletethank you Kathy,and thank you Barbra Joan, wish I could have seen him, I'm going out in a second to see if the little screech owl is back on his branch in our yard, I hope so I'll take my camera and flash him! take care both of you , Diana
