Lots of Bird Paintings and some Spring Magic!

I took a break from acrylics yesterday and got out my watercolours and black ink to make these cards for sale. :) They all have birds in them except one!

They're all listed in my Etsy shop, so hurry over there if you'd like to snap one (or two?) up!

Thinking about it, I've been drawing and painting birds a lot this week.

 In the picture above I've drawn with a black ink pen, over watercolour washes. I love how the page is really wet with the paint and then becomes a lovely surface to draw on once it's dry.

This one above is acrylic painted in my sketchbook with a teeny amount of pen here and there.

You know I said at the beginning of this post that I had a break from acrylics to paint the cards?
Well here's what I was working on.

It's mixed media on canvas board and I used one of my favourite paint colors! That pink is actually really bright pink, it's difficult to show how beautiful the colour is in the photo, it glows! It says fluorescent on the paint tube, the brighter the better I say. I was almost at the end of this painting when i knew there was something missing, a flying bird! I'm going to list it soon on Etsy.

It's called Spring Magic. :)

I wish you ♥ spring magic ♥  this weekend! xx
