Been painting again

I've been having a go at Wanda's Art Challenge again. I tried last week's but it was a horse and it was VERY HARD so I didn't show it to anyone. But this week it was lots of nice birds. We have been out to a farm place today and seen lots of nice birds and I thought I would like to paint one when I got home.

This is a White Crown Sparrow. I think they are American birds because I have never seen a blue sparrow before.

On the way home from the farm place we stopped off for stuff to eat at the diner. We had nunnion rings. Bamburgh loves nunnion rings.

Portrait of Moo

I have been doing some painting again. Nice Mrs Wanda has set another art challenge and it's a cow. You all know that my cousins are cows. Well I decided I would paint my cousin Moo in watercolours.

First of all I sketched him and then I did the washes. That means doing the painting in really thin paint first so you get the colours right. It's the most difficult bit but it's the most important too.



This is Moo so you can compare him with the picture. He likes it and I think it looks quite like him.



And here's the finished picture. Moo says I have to frame it so Mummy will put it on the wall but I think that's just because he thinks his picture should be on display!

Drawing and painting stuff

You know that I do art stuff. Well Mummy has been doing a thing called an art challenge and she has to do a butterfly this time. There's a choice of two pictures to copy and she's doing the fancy one so I thought I'd have a go at the other one that's yellow. First I drew the picture then I coloured it with crayons.



This is the finished picture. Do you think I should put it up for sale on my Folksy Shop?

Nice Mrs Wanda has put the picture on her blog here she sets the challenge.
