The first to be completed in my series of macaws. I had a bit of a paper experiment with this one and actually printed the drawing onto better quality paper before painting it. Let me know what you think! More macaws to come soon!
Yes Amy, fill an aviary with parrots. Is there a more challenging bird like the macaw with all its basic and splendid colors and posture. You are in the best company: Winthrop Stark Davis, Martin Erich Philipp, Edward Julius Detmold, Karl Russ, Jesse Arms Botke, Oskar Frey. And many great artists have shown their love and skill in painting macaws.
It's SO beautiful. I can't stop staring at it!
ReplyDeleteI think he is just lovely... I really like the runny drips on his tail xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I particularly like how you've done the highlight leading up from its wing and into the feathers on its neck.
