Bird Series - Part 1

Hello everyone!

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you know I have been painting a bunch of chubby birds for the past few weeks! I thought it would be fun to post all of the birds that I have so far here on my blog! I will post the rest when I finish them in a separate blog post.

To paint these tubby birds, I have been using a mixture of watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil. I like to use watercolor to give a soft, fluffy feel to the birds, then I add gouache for a few opaque pops of color, and finally, I use some colored pencil to give a little texture where I want it.

 Bluebird

 Cardinal 

Chickadee
 
 
 Bluejay

 Goldfinch

 Parakeet

 Pigeon

 Quail

 Snowy Owl

 Tufted Titmouse

 Toucan

 Robin

Hummingbird

Which bird is your favorite so far?

Prints of all the birds are available to purchase in my online store:

Thank you all for your continued support! 

Cheers,
Ashley xoxo
