Feather Garden: The final bird sketchbook challenge

Tuesday, February 4, 2020

Gouache over gesso.

I glued wrapping paper over part of the sketchbook paper, also used a gel pen for fine lines.

Tim Holtz phrases were also used.

Gesso is a lot of fun to paint over for gouache.

Debra said...: I agree-they can be pretty awful birds. I heard they will kill baby woodpeckers. We have a few starlings here now-but not a hoard of them-thankfully...; February 6, 2020 at 10:38 AM
