Variegated Fairy Wren in Watercolours

I have had this one printed out for ages to paint.  I started painting it in acrylics a while back but was never happy with it so I never finished it - I ended up painting over it.  I finally decided that it was more suited towards a watercolour painting. and I am really pleased with the final result. 

Variegated Fairy Wren measures 8 x 6 inches and is painted on 300gsm rough Arches Watercolour paper.

Many thanks to James Niland for the reference photo.

Variegated Fairy Wren ACEO in Mixed Media

I love painting the little fairy wren birds.  These  wrens can be found across most of Australia.  They are just not found in Tasmania.  I started out painting this one just in acrylics but felt that the feathers needed the addition of some other  blues (Cobalt and Phthalo blue) so I ended up also using my watercolour paints.

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

Many thanks James Niland for the reference photo.
