I find painting green birds extremely difficult, so this exercise was particularly challenging. It was also hard to paint them in a loose style and I compensated too much by adding detail with a pen. What I like the best: the splashes!
I absolutely adore this piece. It brought a smile to my face. You’ve captured their colours and their cheeky faces so well. Those brighter, lighter greens absolutely pop against the darker ones. I think you’ve achieved a perfect mix between expressive and tighter brush work. Really well done!
