I've been having the most wonderful week, involving a lot of glorious mess. As much as I love drawing, it is SO MUCH FUN to pull out my paints and work in colour again.
I'm working in acrylics on watercolour paper (Arches Hot Press block). It's hard to find tropical flowers in these parts, especially in the Fall, so I went to Allan Gardens to find some inspiration. The bird is an olive-backed sunbird, one of the birds I saw at the ROM last week.
My aim is to have it finished in order to submit it to the Society of Animal Artists - application for membership is due by October 23rd, for anyone who may be interested.
I'm just tweaking this piece and all going well, will post the finished painting soon ...
