Just in time for the bird of the week 15:
Dalmatian pelican (pelecanus crispus)

It perfectly complements my art style as it’s feathers look a bit like fur. They have feathers on their head that look like a hairstyle, quite funny 😄

Ohh, that sounds nice. I didn’t even know they exist until yesterday, but I‘m glad I learned about them.

Watercolour painting of a male and a female 'Painted bunting'. The male bird very colourful, the female mainly in greenish-yellow colours.

Yesterday I saw a picture of a Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris) and knew I had to draw it. They are really pretty.

I also had a good laugh when I realised they are called "Papstfink" in German, which translates back to "pope finch". Fitting for a member of the cardinal birdfamily 😄

Bird of the week 14: Eurasian nuthatch (sitta europaea)

I remember being really fascinated by them when they came to the bird feeder at my grandparents balcony. I like how they can walk straight down a tree.

I don’t have the cat problem, but to avoid any human errors I recommend using a glass that doesn’t look like a drinking glass (for e.g. a marmelade or honey jar) and a bottle for drinking.

Bird of the week 11: Wood Sandpiper (Tringa glareola)

This bird is too big in every direction to fit it properly in my sketchbook 😄 Either the beak doesn’t fit or the feet. So I just painted the head and upper body.

Bird of the week 6: Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus)

Is as grumpy as I was when I realised that I unlearned how to paint properly with acrylic paints.

I note saying that I believe that even if you think you have no artistic skill, I'd rather see your effort than your A.I.
