Little Grouse
I am using a new painting technique to create a grouse oil painting.
I can’t believe this sweet guy is my first-ever grouse! I’m using a new technique that I have adopted recently for smaller details. Because I cannot really see well enough to paint in the old way, instead, I put the paint down in the general vicinity and then push it into place with a dry brush. I took a video of me doing a few last bits in this way, yesterday, it is nice because sometimes you do need a little bit of detail.
Painting Birds - art workshop
A Wonderful Art Retreat, Painting Colourful Woodland Birds
What a lovely weekend spent painting with such a nice group of artists! Sharpe's Pottery Heritage and Arts Trust We were very nicely catered for by Sweet Caroline on both days with a super buffet, and toasties. And of course, there was plenty of cake - artists need to keep their strength up after all. We tried a variety of different acrylic painting techniques. The group all have different levels of expertise in different media so it was a really interesting weekend. Everyone got on really well and gave help, support and encouragement to one another. There was a lot of laughter and joking around, and everyone ended up producing 3 beautiful small paintings (apart from John who was on a roll on day 2 and painted two or three more!) Everyone took a paint kit home with them so they can carry on painting straightaway. I'm hoping they will keep in touch, and show me the results.
A Heron's Graceful Flight: An Artistic Interpretation of Nature's Elegance
Experience the majesty of a heron in flight.
As part of a new series inspired by birds in flight, I will be offering a few paintings of herons for sale in the upcoming year. The largest piece in the collection is an original oil painting titled "Positive Rate," which measures 100 x 120 cm. To add texture and intricate details, I used a palette knife in the creation of this stunning piece in a fresh palette of dark teal and sea green.

Tawny Owl
This Tawny Owl painting is the latest addition to my collection, and I must say, owls are one of my favourite subjects to paint. Their unique features and mysterious aura make for a captivating piece of art. Take a closer look and see for yourself! I have used deep teal and sage green for the background of this painting. I still need to add a couple of details and blend areas. I will hang the painting up on the wall at home for a while until he is dry enough to add the final tweaks.

New Bird Paintings!
I had a lovely afternoon making progress on these new kingfisher oil paintings. This morning I was at the hospital early for an echocardiagram. Happily it seems my heart has gone back to its normal size😊
This week I am enjoying creating new bird paintings in oil. These are two Kingfishers who will be available on my website soon. These are some of my favourite birds to paint because of their colours.
