Hi Everyone!
Today I wanted to share my latest painting, I just finished it this afternoon :)
It's of the little Robin!
Here it is;
The painting measures 18 x 13 cm, or 7 x 5 inches, so it's quite small!
I had to work with my smallest detail brushes to get all the details and shapes I wanted, but I had a lot of fun and would like to paint another one soon.
I learned a lot from painting this composition and would like to try and improve some of the design elements in my next painting.
Like the painted wood in the background. I don't have much experience painting this type of texture and I think I made it a lot more difficult than it had to be 😅
Oh well, lesson learned! 😊
This is the palette I used for this painting;
The colors going from left to right are;
- Ivory black
- Raw Umber
- French Ultramarine Blue
- Turquoise Clear
- Permanent Rose
- Vermilion
- Iron Oxide Yellow
- Windsor Yellow
- Titanium White
All the other color mixes on my palette are made from these 10 colors.
I really like to premix my colors before I start a painting. This way I can focus a lot better on the painting and keep the ''flow''.
I have two Robins in my garden and they are just the sweetest little beings!💓
Can't wait to paint another!
I filmed some of the process while painting this little Robin, so in the next couple of days, I'll post a progress video.
I hope you like the painting!
Love, inspiration and happy painting,
Marie
