Great Spotted Woodpecker in acrylics

I love how this one is clinging to the tree.  I did quite a few glazes to build up the depth to the feathers.

Great Spotted Woodpecker measures 6 x 8 inches and is painted on Colourfix Smooth paper.

Many thanks to Lee Amery for the reference photo.

Great Spotted Woodpecker ACEO in acrylics

I have had this one printed out for a while to paint - it just got pushed to the bottom of my ever growing pile of reference photos.  Really love how this one is perched on the branch.

Great Spotted Woodpeckers are found throughout Europe and Northern Asia.  They measure between 23 - 26 cm in length and weigh between 70 - 98 grams.
