It's another wonderful Wednesday & I'm so excited to show my latest mini process.
Already you can tell that a bird is emerging.
I'm working with shades of black.
And here's the crow which is the focal point of the piece.
Here I've chosen a batik for the sky & a mottled tone on tone for the ground. I love all the muted colors and shapes in the pale lavender batik.
Next I've added a horizon line with a trees to add interest.
Now for the fun part. Placement & more details. I find the whole process very therapeutic. If I didn't have to eat I think I'd make minis 24/7.
I've added a rock formation, some sparse grass & a couple of bare branches.
Finally, the shadow beneath the crow. I've name this one "Solitary Crow."
WOW!!! No, really I mean WOOOOOWWWW! I think this one is my favourite. I've seen paintings that didn't look that real. Congrats Rhonda on another spectacular finish. ;^)
ReplyDeleteOoooo.... I really really like this one! What is it about crows anyway?

ReplyDeleteOh, this is lovely. And shadows mess me up, too (as Gene Black said, above). This one looks natural. Beautiful work.
