Perhaps you could work in time for a quick birdwatching stroll after sketching Des
Lucky you to work from home - I've been doing that for about 8 years now...but it's looking like I may have to go out and find a 'real' job - yikes!!
Love the bhgulls - I sketch much the same way - only adding in what I consider required detail...it's the postures and lines I'm after...

Funnily enough, I did that today. Took a few photos of the feral Canada Geese on the reservoirs up the road for tomorrow's sketch!

My mind was made up by not being able to find my watercolour box (a good indication of how long ago it was last used!). So decided to add some colour using coloured pencil.
I'll try and get around to doing some different versions if/when time allows.
Many thanks for the encouragement and suggestions.

That's thoroughly excellent Des - well done!
Hi Des
Great pencil sketches of your Geese, and beautifully portrayed, and an all round activity shot.
The male Bullfinch - he is a beauty in the way you have presented him with your washes and paints
I am with Chris's suggestions in trying different variations using different materials. Pencil v's paints.
Why do you try to paint your subjects, then use pencil work on the same subjects you pick. So it is Paint v's Pencil and see what the results are?
It is a great way of finding out your strengths and your weaknesses. It will help you strengthen up all your abilities, and be more creative than ever.
Therefore gives a chance to build up your portfolio of your achievements, and show them here on this thread. Of course I would love to see all what you do anyday.
Wow, I have difficulty keeping up with all the fantastic artists on this Forum :eek!:
