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.

Thank you John! I love that they are always here. If they were ever to leave I’d be worried and act accordingly! 🙂

Beautiful painting and photo :-). Love your paint colours and super fine ink lines. And the distribution and shapes of the vivid greens in your photo are really pretty.
