Really nice Arthur, the way that the birds are all at different stages of a turn makes for a really strong composition with a real sense of life and movement. I wish these would turn up in my garden! Coincidentally I'm working on a straight portrait of a frenchie right now. Well actually I'm typing right now but I'll be back to painting in a bit.
Not to mention the added difficulty of having drawn the feet in as well. Really good pic though, particularly like the colouring and shading of the birds underparts.
I really like the depth in this one and the way you use more contrast in the foreground and less in the background. That's a great technique for creating distance. I've really been enjoying your pencil work!
well these just get better and better, I get the feeling you're very comfortable using the pencil crayons, there's a confidence in this medium that shows through in the picture. Very well done.
These two are both lovely Arthur. Wheatears are on my favourite birds list, they're just beautiful and I like the typical, upright stance of your bird. As Tim says, the redshank picture has a real warm feel to it and it's easy to relate to the bird, again, just as you often see them.
