Just some paintings/drawings (1 Viewer)

KathrinJ · Mar 25, 2011

Hello,

at first I have to tell you, that I admire the work shown in this forum. It's simply amazing and I'm not even finished looking at all the wonderful pieces of art. I'm constantly in a lack of english words to desribe, how breathtaking your artwork looks. :eek!: I'm looking forward to discover lots of wonderful paintings! |=)|

I dont' have much to contribute, since I always take a looooong time to finish a drawing. Not to mention the very loooooong time to start something new again.
I'll start with some feather-paintings. I discovered this kind of art somewhere on the internet and I think it's absolutely beautiful.

All the best,
Kathrin

And my last and favourite feather-painting. Like the Red Kite it was a present for a friend of mine.

Best wishes,
Kathrin

Hello Kathrin and a very warm welcome to the Art bit, and to BirdForum. These are very special pieces - I think the red kite works in a beautifully subtle way against the muted camouflage of the feather, but I am a fan of lovebirds (sharing a house with one) and yours is particularly nice. Hope to see more of your work.

Thank you all for your warm welcome! |=)| I'm glad you like my work so far. I really enjoyed painting these, because of the new experience with new material.

Best wishes,
Kathrin

Hi Kathrin another welcome from me too.Looking forward to seeing a lot more

Not an artist but I am in awe at the abundance of talent I see in this forum. Beautiful work.

Nature__lover · Mar 26, 2011

Wow! I've never seen this done and it is so beautiful! I admire your patience too, it must be so fiddly.
I bet it'd be lovely to have smaller ones and make them into some sort of jewellery. Imagine feather-earrings with birds on!

welcome Kathrin...do you use acrylic on these...the last one of bright color on the dark feather is especially striking

JTMB · Mar 26, 2011

Hi Kathrin and welcome! These are very nice - and unique in style. I have seen some other feather paintings before, and marvel at the challenges they must present. Looking forward to more of your work.

KathrinJ · Mar 27, 2011

Thanks a lot for all your kind words. I really appreciate it |=)|.

@Nature__lover: That's a sweet idea with the feather-earrings. I think I saw something like that somewhere. But the kingfisher was small enough for my taste - I think I would go crazy painting still smaller |

|.

@Colleen: Yes, that's right. I used acrylics, allthough I don't like them. They just dry too fast which might be an advantage in some points but it's difficult to permanently remake a mixed colour - it's always a little different. But maybe that's just my lack of experience with acrylics and other mixable paints |:$|.

Best wishes,
Kathrin

don't worry I don't expect you to paint on anything smaller, I don't know how you manage these! the details amazing on such a small scale.
looking forward to more of you artwork

solitaryVSong · Mar 28, 2011

Hi Kathrin. Nice to see your work.

KathrinJ · Mar 28, 2011

@Clive: Thank you very much. I hope you don't look forward to more unusual work, because I've not done any yet. Lack of beautiful feathers I'd say.

@Nature_lover: Thank God |

|. No, seriously: it's kind of tempting. I think I'll keep it in mind and who knows...

Ok, here I have two drawings, I've done soooome time ago. The picture of the pheasant looks so strange, because it was rather dark, when I took the photo of it.

Best wishes,
Kathrin

JTMB · Mar 29, 2011

Both these drawings are very nice, Kathrin! What size are they?

ARTHUR BISHOP · Mar 29, 2011

These are lovely Kathrin, the feather detail is supurbly done. Lets see more of your sketches

KathrinJ · Mar 29, 2011

Thank you very much, John and Arthur. I'm glad, you like them|=)|.

The paper-size for the pheasant is 29,7cm x 42,0cm (about 11x16 in., if I'm correct), for the Common Buzzard it was too small for my taste: 14 cm x 21cm (5x8 in.).

Best wishes,
Kathrin
