Swallow Tailed Bee-Eater in acrylics

I love the feather colours of this one.  I used quite a few combinations of blue/yellow for feathers and I also went looking for my sap green tube of paint.  I any ever use the sap green when painting green feathers as I usually need it for the final glazes to the feathers.
Swallow Tailed Bee-Eater measures 6 x 6 inches and is painted on Colourfix Smooth paper.

Many thanks to Scotch Macaskill for the reference photo.

Rufous Fantail in acrylics

I was going through my photos that I took a few year back and came across this one.  I did take it from quite a distance so the quality was not that great but I really the way it is posing on the branch so decide to paint it.  Rather pleased with how it turned out.
