Kingfishers are another favourite bird of mine so couldn't resist painting this one as I just love the position it is perched on the branch.  Really pleased with how it turned out.

Azure Kingfisher in acrylics

I love colouring of these kingfishers. I used quite a few glazes to get the depth to the blue feathers. Really pleased with the final painting.

I used quite a few glazes to get depth and colouring to the feathers.  I use a Fast medium / fixer by Atelier for the glazes which works really well.  Really pleased with the final painting.

Belted Kingfisher in acrylics

I decided to try out the 8 x 8 inch panels that I purchased with this lovely kingfisher.  Rather like this size  for the larger birds.  Really pleased how this one turned out.  Working on a 8 x 8 lion head at the moment so will see how it goes.

These kingfishers are found Northern United States and Canada.  They measure around 25 - 35 cm in length and weigh between 113 to 178 grams.  The male only has the blue breast band as opposite to the female who also has a broad rusty band on their bellies.

Belted Kingfisher measures 8 x 8 inches and is painted on Raymar 1/8" Smooth Portrait Canvas panel.

I love the colours of this birds feathers - they are so vibrant and colourful.  Really pleased how this little painting turned out. 

There are about 90 species of kingfishers. I have only paint about 3 species - I will have to see what other ones I can find to paint. 

This one is a Common Kingfisher (also known as Eurasian Kingfisher or River Kingfisher).  They about 16 - 17 cm long and weigh around 35 - 40 grams.

I enjoyed painting this one - love the colours.  I was looking at more bird reference photo's over the weekend and came across another kingfisher photo but this one is in flight.  I could paint it in the Aceo size but I think I am going to paint it in oil and on a  5 x 7 inch panel.
