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.

Scarlet Robin ACEO in acrylics

I usually use French Ultramarine blue for the background blue colour but this time around I used Prussian blue as I wanted a cooler blue.  I am really pleased with this one.  Some interesting information about Scarlet robins is that they range in length  from 12 to 13.5 cm and weigh between 12 to 14 grams.

Robin 3 ACEO in acrylics

I love painting robins.  I originally painted the robin with a light green background but I didn't like it so I ended up starting again.  I much prefer the light blue background that I created.

Robin 3 measures 3.5 x 2.5 inches and is painted on 300gsm smooth Arches watercolour paper.

Robin 2 ACEO in acrylics

I love painting robins.  I am really pleased how this one turned out.  I  mainly used my new  no 3 round sable mixture brush - it works really well.  I am very happy with the brushes I bought.   I think I will always buy my brushes for the UK company Rosemary and Co (http://www.rosemaryandco.com) - the quality is excellent and cost a third of the price of store brushes (even with postage!!). 

Robin 2 measures 2.5 x 3.5 inches and is painted on 300gsm smooth watercolour paper.

Robin ACEO in Acrylics

This one has been on my to do list for a while so decided to paint it as an ACEO.  I really enjoy painting birds and they seem suited to the ACEO size so I will have to look through my reference photo's for some more to paint.

Robin measures 2.5 x 3.5 inches and is painted on 300gsm Smooth Arches Watercolour paper.

Winter Robin in oils

I love painting birds - they are so bright and colourful.  It is another one done on  the 6 x 6 inches Ampersand Gessobords.  Really like this size panel.
