Birds, beautiful birds. I love watching birds, documenting their sighting in my 'bird book' and listening to their merry songs. Those things make me happy. So, naturally I would try my hand at sketching and painting birds. They are harder for me than doing flowers. But, we don't learn if we don't try. Right?
So, to join with Michael at Scribble Picnic on Wednesday
Paint Party Friday and Sunday Sketches on Sunday
here are my birds.
A Seagull at the beach (using graphite pencils)
A hummingbird in watercolor
and for a bit of humor, I saw this ostrich sketch on Pinterest, I think it was, and just had to do my own version. I added the frame and quote on Picmonkey.
Wonderful collection here Latane!
ReplyDeleteThe ostrich is still my favorite!! :-)
ReplyDeleteTo cute....love all of them, but you gotta love that ostrich....Just too adorable.
ReplyDeleteAll so lovely but I have to say the hummingbird is perhaps my favorite!
ReplyDeleteHow dull life would be without birds and their songs.
Loved the hummingbird.
ReplyDeletethe colors on the humming bird is wonderful. that ostrich is kind of freaky but cute. good take on birds.
ReplyDeletehave a lovely day.
I like the hummingbird watercolor. I attend a Mixed Media class here at Vantage House and we do all sorts of pictures. I should share them on my blog sometime.
ReplyDeleteall great sketches this week!!
ReplyDeleteAw, I think these are wonderful, Latane. That sketch on top really makes me smile. Something very endearing about that lil' guy. Your coloured ones are well done too. Thank you so much and great to have you back at our weekly picnic! :)
ReplyDeleteAll three are wonderfully done. You've captured them all very nicely and that last one really made me smile.
ReplyDeleteYour hummingbird is so pretty, and love the ostrich who took me quite by surprise as I scrolled down!
ReplyDeleteFun birds! And I love waking up to the sound of seagulls. Well done there. My favorite birds are Pelicans! LOVE LOVE those guys. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had fun doing a few birds. Each is a joy to see. I like the softness of colors in the hummingbird piece and the details on your last.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet hummingbird, I really like it in watercolor. Ostrich is fun too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I can see why you had to have your own ostrich--so cute!
