I tried this titmouse to keep in line with my new found interest in painting animals.  I used masking fluid to help create the bird’s furry feathers and was almost able to use the same pallet I had out from the giraffe.  This is much smaller than my usual stuff at only 8″x9″, I didn’t want to get too adventerous yet and thought a smaller piece would be easier.   I’ll have to search my zoo pictures for a new reference idea, practice makes perfect, doesn’t it?  Well, it at least makes things a little better…..

  1. wow that is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is incredible.

  2. This is awesome, Tracey. I like how you gave the feathers texture with the masking fluid. The eye is really good cause I think bird eyes are difficult.I like your choice of colors, also!

  3. Shows how soft the animal really is.
    Success i’d say.

  4. Nice painting of the birds and thanks for stoping by my blog. The feathers on the birds looks fine using masking fluid.

  5. A cute bird. When I first looked at your blog I almost thought I must have made a mistake as it reminded me on first impact so much of Leslie’s!
    What I think it shows is how much all our individual experiences have an influence on us.
