Jade, lovely fluffy gesture The fur looks so good and real .. very well done!
To answer your quest. earlier me & Muffin are spending calm Holidays with temps. close to -10°C she isn't going to outside terrace much, often only puts paw outside and decides to give a quick turn inside. Happy Holidays .... How are you and Bob?

Jade,
Plush. You could write a book and use variations.

Thanks Grapes and Wayne happy holidays both
Ooh that's cold Grapes! Good for Muffin keeping her little paws warm! I hope your paws are warm too!
We're good thanks. I have started a crochet teddy bear today and he's relaxing next to me whilst I do it

Here is the sun conure, in watercolor, on Arches 140 CP, about 8 x 10. The only colors used were three primaries - Arylide Yellow, Alizarin Crimson, and Thalo Blue. I am going to cross post this in the Watermedia thread, as I actually like something I did.

Joy, this is beautiful! Wonderful work with the limited palette too. I love it.

 

[LizC]

Wow, Joy, that looks fantastic! Excellent job!

 

[Jade]

This is absolutely stunning Joy

 

[Joy]

Thank you! I seem to make better decisions when I limit my color choices.

Joy - This is absolutely beautiful ! I love everything about it, his expression is perfect
and the way you've handled his feathers and the 'fluffiness' of the feathers on his head
is excellent. I like the way you changed the background too.
Cheers
Patricia

Squirrel, Inktense in XL Mixed Media sketchbook.

What a cute little fella Anne!

 

[Joy]

Patricia, thanks ever so much for such a lovely comment. The background was too overwhelming for me and I didn't want it to compete with the bird.
Grapes, Jade, thank you!

Anne, adorable squirrel. You really have mastered Inktense. They really last a while, so they can be cost effective.

Patricia, thanks ever so much for such a lovely comment. The background .......... and I didn't want it to compete with the bird.

Yes , that's what I meant. The background in the photo was very distracting, especially the cut edge of the log and was definitely
competing with the the bird. You solved the problem completely !
Cheers
Patricia

Anne - Lovely squirrel - you are very talented.
Cheers
Patricia
