Chestnut Backed Chickadee No 3 in acrylics

I love how this little guy is perched on the branch and the tilt of his head.  Really pleased with how it turned out.

My brush order arrived today from Rosemary & Co in UK -  I was down to my last spare Designer Pointed Sable Mixture size 4 brush.  I order 10 size 4 brushes so that should last me awhile.  For most of my paintings, I use a flat brush for the background and for the rest of the painting I use a Pointed Size 4 brush.  So I go through quite a few of them as once the  point goes, I have to replace them.  They do last really well through - the last order I placed was back in February and I only order 6 of them.  And finally I sign my name with Rigger Script brush.

Chestnut - Backed Chickadee ACEO in acrylics

I love the colouring of this bird and I am really please with how the painting turned out.

The Chestnut - Backed Chickadee is found in the Pacific Northwest of the United States and Western Canada.  They measure around 11.5 - 12.5 cm in length and weigh between 8.5 - 12.6 grams. An interesting fact about this bird is that they use a lot of fur to make up its nest - more than half of the nest is made up of fur/hair.  When they leave the nest, the cover the eggs with a layer of fur that they have made.

Chestnut - backed Chickadee measures 3.5 x 2.5 inches and is painted on 300gsm smooth Arches watercolour paper.

Many thanks to Andy Reago and Chrissy McClarren for the reference photo.
