Snow Bunting




  I finally managed to get paints out after a small pencil and pastel addiction. I wanted to  get back to painting birds and chose one of my favourite winter visitors the Snow Bunting. To see these little crackers I do have to travel to North Wales where they are very regular around Rhyl area. Im pretty pleased with it and really enjoyed playing with paint.  Perhaps the background could of been darker. The Daler Rowner paper impressed me and I can see me becoming to love it.

  5. Great work, I like the background with it's soft washes looks very nice against the texture of the wood and draws your attention towards the bird. I recently found a great deal on the Daler Rowney paper, it takes all my rubbing out very well.

  6. Wonderful little bird, and I concur with Laurel the background is a super compliment to the star of the show your bird. Your venture into pastels was much more successful than mine was... your watercolors are delightful.
