In fact this morning was decidedly off-putting..I had planned a bike ride to meet up with friends...but the thought of a dozen chilly damp miles to get there...and hanging about watching...and riding home... meant that that was off the cards!!
Get on with work...pack more finished cards..
And work on the next bird....on and off most of the day, from initial drawing to completion....
Now to choose the colour..
Not black, because there will be a capercaillie print in the future....
So red or brown...
And no, the title will NOT be "Dum dum dum dum diddly dum".....
I might get into legal problems.....
It could be "duck, or...."
I definitely think you made the right choice
ReplyDeleteI do like the red
You spent your day in a much better way!
ReplyDeleteI like the red too. I don't get the "dum dum diddly" reference...?

I am loving your bird series (but what is a capercaillie print?)
ReplyDeleteA Capercaillie is a rare larger bird of the grouse family, also from Scotland
DeleteI love the progression. Seeing the stages. Why does the brown not seem to work even tho closest to the bird's natural colour? I guess we see the flash of red...
ReplyDeleteThat must be it
DeleteYou're clever with your drawings, I can't draw to save myself.
ReplyDeleteAmy everyone has their own individual style...and it takes a bit of practice every day, getting eye-brain-hand coordination...
