Love the eagle! I would never have thought to use blue or violet. I love learning from you. It has been some time since I have been back to finish my course. Lots of life happenings and several loved ones passing. I want to get back to the lessons and some fun. I love seeing the stages of this painting. I love your work
I also noticed only part of the painting has tape around it. Was some of it removed before picture was taken? What was the purpose for half taping? Just curious
Philadelphia Eagles fan here. Go Birds! Wonderful eagle Sarah. I think I would like the eyes a little more intense, just personal preference. Super portrait of a magnificent bird of prey. Can't wait for that book! Hope you make a video to go along with it. Congrats, Dee

Beautiful Sarah, you are such an inspiration. I must get on with my course with you. Thanks Sarah.
@carlagrilli54 thank you so much. I’m really glad you like them!
@dlynn thank you so much. I often saturate my photos heavily and this helps me identify the colours easier. Hope this helps!
@dlynn it’s to give me a crisp clean edge at the base and sides of the eagle
