Grumpy robin! Fast and fun sketchbook piece, limited palette.... but my Other Half just pointed out that robins need a bright chest and he is not wrong... so I guess I am painting another one very soon!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! This is very WIP - final version is still drying.
2025 was a complicated art year for me. Lots of art, lots of fun, but lots of indecision. I enjoy too many things. 2026, I narrow down my path and mediums...
There will be many birds.

...I have been painting (and scratchboarding) every single day...but my ability to remember to post on socials is almost non-existent.
These little birds bring such joy! So delicate and sweet and fleeting, with the most beautiful of voice!

Curlew in the long grass
Don't you just love curlews! And they look so much better in B&W. Taken on the route to fishing yesterday, which wasn't up to much, but at least the drive provided some wildlife photo opportunities.

Gosh, I'm in love with scratchboard! This is Porridge. Porridge is an antlered bluetit. Porridge will take none of your sass, thanks! Halfway through, each scratch feels delicious & also terrifying as who knows if it ended up in the right spot!

...just waiting for my precious white pencil to arrive to do final highlights and then this piece is done! Both are gorgeous, gorgeous robins - but are you team GB or team USA?!

Nearly done! I may have to pause on the final touches as I discovered, to my horror, I don’t have another of my favourite white pencils - the only one that makes decent highlights - so I'm about to do an art supplies order (Oh no, what a shame...)

Did I ever mention how much I adore drawing feathers? Despite it being very slow and this being all the progress I have made in the last few days?!

The third kingfisher I drew last year.
I may do more as it is impossible to get fed up of looking at such beauty.

Progress on the two robins. I do so love a British birb! American robin is starting to appear, this is a watercolour pencil wash to get some base colours in.

I'm totally wrapped up in the day job at the moment due to our game being released last week! Here's a sketch from a while ago. This is Porridge. Porridge is a very unusual bluetit. Porridge likes autumn weather, shiny things, and the final series of Startrek Picard.

Final of my abstract acrylic with oils on top. The end result is messy, but I do like the direction it ended up. More experiments to come soon!

Terrible shiny photo! Went over the bright colours & pushed them back. Combining abstract and realism somewhat - didn't completely work, but I still quite like it! One more layer to go once this has dried.

More experiments with abstract acrylics... sorta? Going to be a bit more realistic in the long run, but really love these colours for an underlayer. Guess what birb?!
