Starting on the bird, 3rd down. He's making me smile

 

[Joy]

Stunning photos! Glad it worked out to post both on sites.

 

[Grapes]

Patricia, these are lovely refs. Thank you for the photos and hosting!

This morning I painted with leftover paints the squirrel ref. It's quite light by tones. Next step could be to paint over with reddish/rusty colors.
Oil paints on paper support that has acrylic gesso on it. Size: small.

 

[Triduana]

I love your squirrel, Grapes!

 

[Enyaw]

Well done Grapes

 

[Grapes]

Triduana & Wayne, thank you!

 

[Jade]

What a gorgeous squirrel Grapes.
I really like the colours.

I'll post my squirrel WIP below and also the finished bird.

I want to get some more colour and definition on Mr Squirrel

 

[Grapes]

Jade, you got that look on your bird. The eye is very catching and you drew it so well.Your squirrel is already cute.

 

[Jade]

Oh thank you Grapes! The bird was interesting to draw. Patricia has chosen some excellent pictures again. It was nice to use some of my different colours. Thank you re Mr Squirrel. I need to practice building up his layers.
