Blue Tit-WIP
I've started another bird, this is 10.5 x 12.5 with pastel background on mi teintes. Like the retriever I just finished I'm using less layers than I usually do, about 6 or so. I still dont have the hang of feathers but I'm not striving for perfection, lol! Hope you like so far.....

Re: Blue Tit-WIP
Looks beautiful Lexy, I love the way you've done the background, you've achieved that great depth but out of focus look. I'll definitely be following this one.

Lexy, you are so prolific - you put me to shame. Another lovely work in the making. Looking forward to watching this unfold.

Re: Blue Tit-WIP
As others have already said, the depth is fantastic and I really like the fluffy look of his feathers.

Re: Blue Tit-WIP
Lovely! Hey....didn't you say that you were giving up pastel for a while after the Retriever background issues?  |
