I just used my last 6 x 6 inch Raymar panel this week. Just as well I ordered some more. They should arrive next week.  I really do like the square panels so I decided to order a pack of 8 x 8 inch panels to try.  Just sometimes need a larger panel than the 6 x 6 inch so looking forward to trying them out.

The Red Browed Finch is also known as the Red Browed Firetails.  They are around 10 - 12 cm in length and weigh on average 11 grams.

Red Browed Finch measures 6 x 6 inches and is painted on Raymar's Feather Lite Canvas panel.

I decided to paint another Red Browed Finch but in a larger format.  I thought I was finished but when I came to scan it, I decided I needed to do a bit more work of the back feathers. So after a bit of tweaking I am rather pleased with the final piece.  In interesting fact about them is that they are highly sociable birds and are often seen in small flocks of 10 to 20 birds. 

Red Browed Finch measures 6 x 4 inches and is painted on 300gsm smooth Arches watercolour paper.

These birds can be found on east coast of Australia and are 11 - 12 cm long. I haven't seen them in my area but when visiting Ballandean, Qld a few years ago, I come across them - just never got any good reference photo though.
