Kingfisher on the board (or should that be Broad?) 2

 

Here is the next update, later than I had hoped, as have been working on other projects. As you can see, the beak and front of the face are 90% of the way there... I 'tweak' as I go along. I am now working on the head feathers to get the right tonal values and contours. I was going to put some moss in it's beak, but it just looked wrong, so that was dispatched and over painted.  Pleased with how it is standing out from the dark background... and hope to post the next update faster than the last 8-)

Here's the new work in progress for the limited edition section of my site. This is to  be completed in gouache.

First stage is background and blocking in colour areas. Then work on building it up in layers.  Hopefully I can make good progress this week 8-) and will upload progress as I go... watch this space!

Wesite launched...Phew!!!

Finally launched today!!
After all the research, copywriting and adding to the galleries (that was the best bit 8-),  I have opened up to the world - scary or what? And only one day over my deadline! Now need to add more limited edition pictures, and keep everything up to date... fingers crossed.

Come and have a look, and tell me what you think?
