Then, one day, after you have moved on from your "emotional" attachment to this little critter..you can bring it out and see if (a) you can accept it as it is or (b) see what you need to do to make it more to your liking.<BR/>Personally, I would accept it as is.It is a charming little study.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14598068948509604187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226875186908097599.post-45014702799682763122009-01-08T11:16:00.000+10:002009-01-08T11:16:00.000+10:00I am sorry you are stressed out painting this litt...I am sorry you are stressed out painting this little bird, Anne...<BR/>You have done well in tweaking it. The background is good, achieving distance...the grass is good too, as you only need to paint the foreground in. Have you a rigger/liner brush or a fan brush ...they are excellent for foliage/grasses and feathers/fur ;) <BR/>Shadow may need a little more work, think it could be more angular than horizontal as the light source is at the front left-hand side of the painting<BR/>The feather texture is good also, but I'm not sure re the pink underside...is it unfinished?<BR/>Also I think his web feet need to be wider and a more brilliant orange colour... <BR/>OK Anne, I'm done!! lol <BR/>Keep on tweaking Anne because he is gorgeous, and I REALLY do like him!! ;)Reehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304330794822181767noreply@blogger.com
