Macaws, Cockatoos, & Parrots to Paint

November 7th, 2005 at 8:40 pm (Exotic Bird Paintings & Sketches, Paintings, Paintings in Little - Small Miniature Paintings, Sketches, Studies, & Doodles)

From Rebecca's sketchbook - a rough graphite pencil sketch of a scarlet macaw portrait by Rebecca Latham. The bird was studied during one of the artist's study sessions in Florida. My cockatoo miniature painting is coming along well, I think. :) I will post a "nearly completed" photo of it soon for everyone to see. emoticon

The rough graphite sketch on the left is of a scarlet macaw. I studied the bird during one of our excursions to Florida for some much needed painting references a number of years ago. I always love painting parrots - the brightly colored feathers are just fantastic!

I hope to get more fresh reference of parrots as well as other birds to paint in the near future. emoticon
