I'm using your goldfinch body with a house finch but following this tutorial hehe :)

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

[@chiarasola826]

It came out very nice ^__^

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

Another thing (lol) It amazes me how your water stays so clean!
Watching you paint these birds has taught me a different way of painting smallish objects still utilizing wet in wet in a more controlled way. Thanks

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

That is awesome to hear!

[@bethcrane5780]

The purple finch came out beautifully! I think that one is my favorite.

Love your birds! I have a request can you paint a male Painted Bunting please? They are so beautiful and colorful thank you

Looks exactly like the ones at my feeder in Western PA. Perfect amount of detail. I really enjoy your style and teaching.

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

Glad you like them!

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

Love. Love. Love! You've got me to love painting birds.
I love the way your whole composition worked out. I'm thinking of getting one of those large frames that has a bunch of smaller frames built in and filling it with birds.
