Small painted bird

oil on Foamex 20 x 16 cm

It's a grey rainy day today outside the studio and there is little sign 

of my winged modeling companions. Hover there is an odd glimpse between

showers. Enough at least, for this study in oil.

Thanks for looking :)

Another Sparrow sketch

Pastel on tinted canson 30 x 25 cm

I managed to get in another quick sketch of my noisy companions.

Once again using the dry pastel and charcoal mix. This one is less detailed

due to the speed of these little guys and even at this level it's mostly from memory :)

Thanks for looking :)
