Robin ACEO in watercolours

I felt like a needed to paint a few looser style paintings before tackling my next detail 6 x 8 inch and 6 x 6 inch paintings.  So I decided to paint a couple of birds in watercolours for a change.

The first one is this lovely European Robin.  Really pleased with the end result.  I added the pink flowers to add a bit of interest.

Robin measures 2.5 x 3.5 inches and is painted on 300gsm rough Arches watercolour paper.

Many thanks to Ron Knight for the reference photo.

The painting is available for purchase from my Etsy store.  To view the listing, please click here.

European Robin ACEO in acrylics

So next is the European Robin which I always love painting.  They range in length from 12.5 to 14 cm so are about half the size of the American Robin.  I actually have another one to paint but it will be in oils.

European Robin measures 2.5 x 3.5 inches and is painted on 300gsm smooth Arches watercolour paper.

Little Robin in acrylics

I can't resist painting this cute little bird.  I decided to use a canvas board for a change as I like the 6 x 4 inch size and can't get this size in the Ampersand Gessobord panel.  Rather pleased how it turned out.  Think I will paint another Laughing Kookaburra on the other 6 x 4 board that I bought.

Little Robin measures 6 x 4 inches and is painted on canvas board.
