i think you should run a course so i can come and learn to paint and draw properly

the roller is great and love the shortie

Ditto the above, If your going to do Courses, Can you make it coincide with my 50th...? That would be a right Present for this old man...!!!!!!!!

I ran two, 2 hour courses for the RSPB members a few weeks ago (free of charge) - 12 places on each. Had 6 for the first and 2 for the second . . . . . .

Still seeking that elusive level of 'how much is enough' . . . Black-headed gulls on the fly;

Well, I've put it off long enough, having to take a look on here!
Dare I say you have IMPROVED since I last looked? Of these latest pieces I must agree with Buzzard12; the female Eider and Arctic Terns is the best work I've seen from you and one of the finest I've ever laid eyes on since becoming interested in bird art. Everything hits home; it's stunning!

Moving along, the Roller is a superb example of how a field study should be: informative, spontaneous and bang on the button - fabulous.

Latest BHG's are, like, wow! How've you captured those shapes in flight? Camera? Didn't think so! The influence from the legendary Dr. E is clear to see here.

Ta.
No camera involved here, Russ - just playing with shapes on paper over a period of days and this came out of the sessions.

Back to pure watercolour for this one - working towards the Slimbridge exhibition next month (eeeek).
Female Blackcap - 22"x17"

Winner. Just look at that..

 

[Bigshent]

The gull heading for the dragonfly is just sublime Now the Blackcap in typical surroundings is just frustration for a novice like me its something Id love to paint and never will

 

[mattybohan]

wonderful work as always.

 

[solitaryVSong]

Winner. Just look at that..

Really quite amazing. Nothing wrong with pure watercolor -- and probably the understatement of the year. This reminds me of another recent one you did with complicated foliage. For some reason this one seems more natural and flowing to me. In fact it's hard to imagine improving on something like this! It's complicated but direct and fresh at the same time.

Interesting to see a well known Artist magazine, is publishing a four page spread on a Famous Artist who happens to reside on these very pages....!!!!!
A good read, and an inspiration to me..!

Instant Favorite!

 

[timwootton]

When the migrants let me down, it's always nice to be able to rely on some old favourites. This female eider was with two youngsters on the beach at Point of Ness, Stromness yesterday.
Watercolour 27"x22"

Lovely work! So many different blues, browns and greens - and all of them seem to be in just the right place.

 

[Bigshent]

Lets hope the winds dont change so no passerines turn up there and we will be treated to more outstanding Eider pics

Thats just cruel...!!

Personally I'd love to see you get a few good migrants to paint...

Sibe Rubythroat or American Redstart would benifit us all after the Wooton treatment...

I'm sure Tim will agree with me on this point....

Sorry - a few perchy-things did turn up when I was on Copinsay; this lesser-throat wouldn't let any of the handful of williewarblers settle on its patch - a rendering ensued.

(ps - just started another painting . . . . EIDERS!!!!!)
