Hoopoe in progress...
Thanks all!
Second work in progress on this thread.
We spent a week on Portland, Dorset,England in early May.
Every day I was hoping a Hoopoe would show up for my partner. We were not graced with one.
We spent some time in Tout Quarries, a notorious spot for potential migrant Hoopoe, and a living sculpture park.
As my partner took quite a few photos here, I was able to sequester a decent background, on which to paint "the Hoopoe we never saw!!" (bit of a consolation prize for her...)
Here then are 5 images of this piece in progress...
(A4. Canson paper. Designer's gouache and water-colour pencil.)
Not quite finished, but hope you enjoy it! B
