I had something completely different in mind for this page when I began with the woodpecker, but I enjoyed it anyway and it turned out better than I expected. I'm learning to be a lot less terrified of things going wrong although I really need to be more aware of which colours are staining! The top three birds are from Australia and the little dove a very popular bird in Dubai where we used to live.
I used mainly Winsor & Newtons with some Senneliers. On Saunders Waterford HP paper which just handles beautifully.

Beautiful birdies Felicity - that little dove is so cute! I like Saunders Waterford paper for cp too :)
Thanks Janet! Yes, he's my favourite although I didn't quite get his soft glow. I'll have to try my cps on this now!

Thank you these are so special.
We are fortunate enough to live in a space where we are visited by lots of birds every day and have many of the Kingfisher's large cousin the Kookaburra in our yard. They aren't anywhere near as glamorous as the Kingfisher but bring lots of delight with their antics and their 'laughter'.

I do love your dove too, they are a favourite of mine - the collared doves we have in our garden. Exceptional watercolours, Felicity. Congratulations.
Oh, these are gorgeous. I'm partial to the birds, and I'm always immediately drawn to them, so these caught my eye in the thumbnail for your blog. Love 'em!
Wonderful... a real pleasure to watch!!!:)
Good day!!!:)
