I've been taking part in an Art Trading Card exchange over on WetCanvas (
www.wetcanvas.com), with an African theme. A number of generous photographers here on BirdForum allowed me to use their photos as reference materials, and I'm going to upload the results here, hopefully over the next few weeks. Here's a Pin Tailed Whydah, reference pic from alan manson. Watercolour and ink, 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches.
