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 😉

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?
