Ok, bird #2 is complete but not without a weeeeeeeee bit of frustration. I thought I owned every single color of acrylic paint ever made but I had none of the colors required for this, other than black and white. See? This is why instructions are hard for me! ha! I like wingin' it!
I have a color conversion book (somewhere) but I'm too lazy to dig it out and look up what colors would work best for replacement. I just used the closest that I could find. Hope you like him. Oh, and it's another Sharon Stansifer design.
I think my next challenge will be fur.......now to go dig through books and pick something out :)
And here's a little ACEO for your WINTER pleasure. It's supposed to snow here tonight or tomorrow. One of my favorite novels was 'A Rose in Winter' and this reminds me of that :)
(Trudy Beard design)
Have a great night!

Beautiful birds!! Wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you are planning to take the Calligraphy class you will need the Parallel pens that you can get from Jet Pens. 6.0 and 3.8 size

You could get the Speedball set at Michael's also although you could wait about that. I also like to use a Westwind graph pad which is on the list.
Then you would be ready to go! All other supplies are optional.
Another beautiful bird. Worth the frustration :)
ReplyDeleteThose are simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAre you getting snow now? We are in Colorado! Hope it goes away by Trick-or-Treating night!

Darla the bird is gorgeous again.
ReplyDeleteSorry I am going to have to ask you to take the snowman off the etsy list again and put him on the side for me.
When I get to 4 we can ship them out again, how about that.
So far, I'm buying the bunnie and the snowman.
Love Renee xoxo
