    This piece was one of the most challenging bird pieces of my carrier, my focus was to show a full range of brown tones in the camouflage for the feathers.

    Alcohol Ink, Pen Ink & Gouache on Paper.

     

    This project was an exercise in ink mixing and application. The alcohol ink (colour) was mixed with water, each colour had it’s own container and eye dropper. I dropped, threw and blew the alcohol ink over top of my pen ink drawing (black). I finished the pieces off with thin white lines of Gouache, to pull the images back out from the alcohol ink.

     

    The frames were a project entirely on their own. With help from my father we custom built these pine frames, finished in white and finally distressed.

    After creating pieces of song birds, I wanted to do something with a bird of prey. This Red-tailed Hawk is diving in for a meal, does he catch it? or does it get away!?
