Macaw in acrylics

Love the colouring of the macaws.  I took the reference photo for this one a couple of years back.  I have had it printed out to paint for ages but  I keep adding to my pile of reference photos so it can take me  a while to get around to painting them.

I really enjoy painting the close up portraits of the birds so I am planning on painting a few more.

Macaw measures 6 x 6 inches and is painted on Ampersand Gessobord Panel.

Macaw ACEO in acrylics

I love the vibrant colours of this parrot.  Everything just worked with this one.

Macaw's are native to Central America.  There are 17 species of macaw's and this one would be a blue and gold macaw.  They measure around 76 - 86 cm in length and weigh between 900 to 1500 grams.

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

Many thanks to Mary Dolling for the reference photo.
