Description
This was a commission I did for a friend. Very similar to my "red head" woodpecker painting. I used a photo reference, but again, took some liberties with it.*Watercolor 2008*

Thank you!
Me neither. I'm just now learning their names. So this painting was a very fun change of pace.

Hmm...it looks like you use hotpress paper [ i might be wrong of course ], and this sort of paper doesn't tolerate layering too well...

I use....hmmmm...I'm not sure. I think I use cold press? I used to be picky, back in high school when we had the choices right in front of us.
I've gotten lazy with age. I feel I've earned it.

That's awesome. We get birds up where we live all the time. My mom's an avid photographer, and her favorites are the red wing blackbirds, but she gets a lot of chickadees when they come eat the berries on our crabapple tree, which is beautiful when it blooms. How do you catch a pose from a bird?

Ahhhh. I'm not much into doing that myself, but when other people nail it, it looks awesome! I'd be worried about cats and birds though. I know most of the cats in our neighbourhood find the birds mighty tasy.

This was based off of a photo (ha!)
We'd get a ton of chickadees up in minnesota w/ my mom. She'd put up bird feeders by the windows so the cats had something to look at in the winter.
