Country Stream in acrylics

I liked the placement of the tree and stream in reference photo but not the season which was a winter snow scene.  So I kept the placement of the stream and tree the same and changed the season to summer.  Really pleased with how it turned out.

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

Flavescent Warbler ACEO in acrylics

At one point I wasn't sure if this one was going to work as I was battling with the feather colours. But I kept going and added a bit a transparent red oxide to my colour mixtures which  then just seemed to bring the whole painting to life.  Really love how the final painting turned out.

Flavescent Warblers are found in South America.

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