Well, this is surprising! I painted something!
Yes, it is a shock to me... I haven't done a flat painting in years. I used to paint model horses, but hadn't even done any of that in at least a year. I got a beginners kit of Gouache paints a few months ago, but was too chicken to try them out. On a whim the other day, I printed off a copy of my Baltimore Oriole, and proceeded to paint on it. This is the result. I started with the orange breast, and ended up with a more "abstract" look than I expected, but I find I rather like it!
I'm not sure what this would be considered, the drawing was originally mine, but I painted over a copy of it, but whatever it's to be called, it was FUN!
Hmm... Should have added more orange on the bottom of the belly... Maybe I'll do that later...

ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Harold!
ReplyDeleteThe colour really brings it to life and I like the beautiful wing detail and catch-light in the eye!
ReplyDeleteThanks Fraser! I'm hopeful that this painting business may turn into a habit!
