One month ago we bought a new camera as our own gift for Christmas (thanks to Steemit! ^_^) and since that moment I'm "exploring" how beautiful is to watch and take photos to everything not very close to me!
Birds are one of my favorite subjects because with my old camera I couldn't take decent pics of them and now I have the opportunity to watch every details of them. Great! ^_^
Our new camera is a Nikon Coolpix B700 and I'm collecting some many nice pics of birds, so I decided it's time to paint some of them ^_^
I started with the Great Egret that I usually watch on the sides of the river close to my home!
I have to say that I really needed to work on a new painting with my oil colors, because in this last time I worked on the pages of my comics and my crochet hearts coasters (every year I was really busy to make them for the Valentine gifts of my costumers and I had less time than usual to paint).
I needed to paint something simple. Simple lines, simple shades, simple subject and so I chose to paint the white Great Egret, the subject of one of my last photos.
The painting is an oil painting on 200 gr paper, size A4 and I also tooks some pics of the process:
I hope you like it ^_^
