A good while back I traditionally painted the parts for some animal patterns. Nowadays I use digital, but the traditional textures are nice. The goldfish are my most popular design on redbubble! www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/4066... #art #design #fish #goldfish #fox #pattern #watercolor

This is Ollie! I met him several years ago, he was rescued by a colleague of mine who was working on his feather plucking problems, and was making such good progress! #art #painting #watercolor #parrots #africangrey #birds #birdart #petportrait

Collage of a few photos, two of a watercolour painting of an African grey parrot, and two photos of the parrot itself. In one photo the parrot is missing a lot of his chest feathers, and the other his chest feathers are all growing back in. The painting shows the parrot front-on, looking at the viewer with his regrowing feathers visible.

A unique trait of linnies is their tendency to just hang upside down or sideways. Little feathery clowns! #art #painting #watercolor #watercolour #natureart #parrots #parakeet #birds #birdart #lineolatedparakeet #linnie

And here's a mid-way WIP photo, before the details were added!

Photo of a watercolour painting of the head and upper torsos of two different macaws. They have been painted with a single shade of dusty pink in different opacities, you can see some details through the paint, but it is less clear without the black ink lines.

GhostoftheSea@ghostofthesea· Jan 13

While doing a monochromatic colour challenge, I think the prompt word was Loud. What better birds to embody this word than a couple of macaws? #art #painting #watercolour #watercolor #natureart #parrots #bird #birds #birdart #macaw
