I’ve been painting or trying to paint flowers the last month, but I did want to try one bird for Draw-a-Bird Day so, painted a House Finch using my newest watercolor Lukas 12 half pan palette. I painted it in my Strathemore Mixed Media Journal.
This is a male House Finch that has been coming to our feeders for a long time. I love his bright red coloring.

I always like setting a group of House Finches, they are always chatting up a storm, Nice work!
Thank you John! I love that they are always here. If they were ever to leave I’d be worried and act accordingly! 🙂
