Acrylics

I decided to try acrylic painting. Very, very different from watercolor. I love that you can go over and fix any mistakes or areas that just aren't working and I love the use of brush strokes and the texture of the paint but I miss the lightness and magic of watercolor. 

A little Fairy Wren

I am selling the prints of my originals in my Etsy Shop

This Little Chickadee is painted over a Blue Bird that 

just would not look right. 

A Bird's Nest

I had fun using a palette knife for the background.

Lavender and Green Hummingbird

I used a palette knife to make this painting and like I said, 

I love the texture and movement.
