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 😉
Seems to be successful 🙂
I’ve started with warmer tones on the bottom and worked my way to cooler tones towards the tip. See how this one works out 🙂
All details in.
I dont think I will splatter this one. It looks so clean and tidy….
The A4’s will have splatter and the A3’s will be clean. I think….
All coloured in!
Now for the details 🙂
Starting the second in the collection. Went with this composition 🙂
I think I’m going to have 3 sized A3, 3 sized A4, then a really long one (depending on finding said paper size)
May have got a little over excited with the feathers…. I’ve now run out of paper!
One problem when being an artist is knowing when to stop.
Should I have stopped before adding the splatter? Should I have added more?
I feel fairly happy with it. What do you guys think?
I may do more with a different colours and compositions. It can be my ‘Fly Away Collection’ 🙂
The details are in! I thought I better post this now as it is in case I ruin it with my splatter and generally messiness 🙂
Some more details, texture and splatter to come next I think.
How do people like the composition? I was thinking of maybe adding another feather?
