Day 52 - Bunny

This one was meant to be just a quick sketch of the bunny and a bit of colour added but I got carried away and ended up doing a full painting instead. I rather like how it turned out.

Superb Fairy Wren No 29 in acrylics

 I bought some new acrylic paints to try out Dr. Ph. Martin's Spectralite. They are very much like their watercolour paints (which I use) but the properties of acrylic paints which I rather like.

Thinking of trying out a mixed media project next.

 I took the reference photo for this one a few years back.  I love how it is perched on the branch.
