Feather of Peace 1

Unfortunately, the other 2 suffered failures (check out oi_you_blondie on Instagram for confirmation :’D)

Personally, I’m still rather disappointed with this. The smaller birds, in my opinion, are awful (and I don’t think I’m being overly critical of myself here). I knew I would struggle with the scale of 3″x 5″ and I did let my client know this – however, she loves it! And as the saying goes: the customer always comes first.

If anyone would like to request a painting – if for purchase or just to challenge me 😉 – please email me on samanthaburnettartist@hotmail.com

Mini ‘Peace Feathers’

Working on some commissions for a miniature ‘Birds of a Feather’

The brief consists of being the painting being 3″x 5″, to have doves flying out and the have the erupt from the middle of the feather rather than the top.

So far it has been very difficult to work on such a tiny scale – I’m losing a lot of the details and blending tones.

Birds next – watch this space 😉

Plagiarism Sorted

I’m pleased to say that the website that had been plagiarising one of my paintings on their t-shirts has took it down 😀

Thank you very much to everyone that gave me advice and words of support! I’m glad I went through the effort now 🙂 xx

Plagiarism

It appears that I have been a victim of plagiarism…

This website is using my painting on t-shirts.

I’m flattered, I really am. Firstly that someone think my painting is good enough to print on a t-shirt and secondly that someone recognised my work and let me know! 🙂

But I was not asked for permission. The website says the image is theirs. And they’re making $35 a t-shirt on this. The original painting is still in my bloody display folder at home. So I’m annoyed.

If anyone has any advice or information that could help me sort this out, I would really appreciate it.

Finished Watercolour Birds of a Feather

All finished! I didn’t add drips to this one. Maybe if the scale had been bigger (this is only 16×12 inches) I would have added them. It’s all framed a looking pretty now but what do you guys think? 🙂

Where do you think I should go from here?

Watercolour Birds of a Feather 3

Composition complete! 🙂 Now for my usual splatter and messiness 😀

What do you think?

Birds of a Feather

Sorry for the long absence, I’ve relocated home and job so things have been hectic. I’ve finally unpacked my art boxes so I’m hoping to be back in the swing of it soon enough. My creative itch has finally been scratched 😀

Carrying on the ‘Fly Away’ theme/collection, I’ve done this quick pen drawing – it’s been drawn to death I know but I wanted to work out a composition and make a colourful watercolour version with my usual drips and splatter to make it my own. 

Would do you think? What else could I do to personalise this a bit more?
