I have decided to persist with watercolour for the next few weeks, enjoyng using it again very much...
Here's a few pieces done over the past few days..
Common Gulls done at home on the couch on my lap, the paper taped to a loose piece on panel. I had been watching gulls the previous evening at dusk and this scene was floating around my head.
The other two completed at the studio, both are A3 or a little smaller.....
A few rough comp sketches of the Yellowhammers out back from my apartment at the feeders led to the first..
The second came from a couple of long neglected fieldsketches, which I dug out. Woodlarks are a favourite species of mine and it won't be long before they return here, so though a brace of spring birds would fit the bill nicely..

great stuff - I have tp say these delicate passerine pieces are truly wonderful. The delicate nature of the birds really comes across with your approach. Keep cracking on the iron's steaming!

That watercolor set is paying off incredibly well!

I really enjoy the third painting with its warm colours and subtle elegance, very nice how you kept the background blank.

Thanks for the comments everyone, Woodlarks seem to have gone down well, but then they are cracking birds...
A quick move back to Acrylic on Canvas, just fancied daubing on some colour. Thought this one might turn into a mare, though it worked itself through quite nicely. Benefited from recent watercolour painting and worked through this piece quickly...

Great work, Alan. The norwegian name for the Fieldfare is "Grey Thrush", and it really doesn't describe the bird well. I also loved the Snow Buntings in a previous post. Keep it up!
