Nuthatch Bird Painting

Here's another bird painting- a nuthatch looking at lunch. This isn't a great scan, so sorry about the blurriness.

Parrot Painting

Happy New Year! I thought I would start off 2009 with a painting. This was part of a series of bird paintings- all acrylic on canvas. I think the size on this was 16" x 20". This was when I was painting a lot in acrylics. With acrylics, I would often paint backgrounds with the airbrush (blending acrylics over a large area can be maddening).

The parrot was painted with thin layers applied traditionally with the brush, alternating every so often with transparent color applied with the airbrush. I continued to alternate brushwork and airbrush glazing to build up the form and details.

Indian on Horseback Digital Speedpainting

A speedpainting refers to a digital painting that is painted within a very limited timeframe. This technique is great for building speed and fluency in digital media and is similar to the alla prima techique in oils, in which the painting is started without a sketch or underpainting and you try to make every stroke count.

Painted in Photoshop.
