Blackbird Watercolour 6" x 4"
I'm playing around with a postcard format and practising sketching my favourite little model. The reference for this sketch is a beautiful photograph* by Tony Wills of New Zealand and I thank him for permission to use it.
Lately I've been hanging bird feeders; scattering seed; investing in a telephoto lens and (the favourite) getting Pentax Papilio binoculars for Christmas, but the bird models I crave continue to elude me. Thank goodness for generous photographers like Tony Wills and Wikimedia.
I will continue to draw this little fellow until I can do him justice.
A few people are resting their blogs at the moment and I think it's a good time to do the same. See you in 4 or 5 weeks.
