    JTMB's Bird Art

    Here are the next ten species from my 'seen this year' list that I've sketched. These are all done quickly, with a pencil sketch followed by watercolor and sometimes adding some Pigma micron ink. I'm up to 91 species seen this year so far, so I'm still working off the backlog...!

    Some more Aussie birds plus one import

    All are really nice, but I think the pheasant is my favorite - I grew up with them. Beautiful birds!

    John Strawbridge's Illustrations

    These are wonderful pieces, whatever term is applied. Norman Rockwell is often called an illustrator, but my wife and I attended an exhibit of his a couple years ago and in my mind (and the many other attendees) saw art. Interestingly, his original paintings used for the covers were actually...

    Thanks Rodrigo and mayoayo! Rodrigo - I'm definitely going to do more with markers, as I also like how they turned out. The last few I've been doing are 'quick and dirty' with watercolor pencil and water brush since I'm still in catch up mode to sketch the species I've seen so far this year...

    Thanks Arthur! It is good to be back to drawing and painting again. Here are some sketches from my 'year bird sketchbook' that I'm working on. White-crowned Sparrow (primarily a summer species here, but some hang around over the winter); Bushtit; American Wigeon; Gadwall; American Coot...

    The daily animal

    This is a wonderful project and thanks for sharing it! It will yield great dividends in your work - already has, no doubt. I've also been away from drawing birds for a couple years due primarily to some joint replacements surgeries and am 'back in the game.' My main sketching project is to do...

    Beautiful piece of work!

    A few of my paintings

    I like the unique support approach you're using. They all have a definite style to them as well, apart from the unique support. Nice to see your work here!

    Great job on these. I really like the Song Sparrow, singing away in its territory.

    JTMB's Bird Art

    Here are a few of my recent sketches. I started a sketchbook in which I plan to sketch each of the species I see in the field during 2016. On January 1st we did an annual 'Christmas Bird Count' for Audubon and saw 43 species, and I'm up to 68 as of today. So I'm behind in the sketching but of...

    Back at it... Hi folks, I just wanted to check back in after a couple years' absence and see who is still around and active. I haven't done virtually any art for about three years, but have been itching to get back to it, and have recently done so. My excuse (a pretty weak one, actually) for...

    Hi Michael, Welcome to the forum! You live quite near to my hometown - Bloomsburg. Went to school in central PA and moved out here to the Pacific NW in 1979. I miss the cardinals and blue jays out here...we have no equivalent to the cardinals, and our 'blue jays' are Steller's Jays (and...
