Two more bird watercolours

 

These two postcard sized bird watercolours are the last two in the series of 8 I'm doing as an art and sale project with a business owner. 

The blog is quite brief as most of my art time today has been taken working on a draft  quote for a repair and conservation project I have been asked to consider and quote on.

The opening watercolour is of an Eastern Whipbird - some subtle colours. The watercolour below is of a Grey Butcherbird.

Following are a couple of process-progress photos.



There is still some detail and shadow work to be done on these two watercolours; but they are getting close to being finished.

Though doing quotes can be time consuming they are part of an art life; and it is quite compliment to be asked to do some projects - a recognition of skills and professionalism one hopes.

  1. (((Barry))) these are so good! Met a Whipbird for the first time in all my years of living here in Land Down Under a few months ago, he looked as surprised as I did!
