I have been working on this large piece over the last week, between riding and work I decided it was eventually finished. I started the pheasant in polychromos ( now I wish I hadn’t, as it was not how I had originally planned) I finished the rest in watercolour. Although it was not to plan I am happy with him, the look has way too much detail to my original thought, so I will try again for my intended look very soon in the future. This is one of my larger watercolours at 65cm x50cm which I hope will fit in a frame I have ….if I measured correctly? Hopefully he will hang on my friends stall at Molly’s den, if the colours complement the upholstery they have at the moment that will be a bonus.

Very nice! Great detail & framing of the subject. I have one of these on my list to paint. (Hope it turns out half as well as yours!)

Thank you Snehal, it’s a little different to my usual, still not decided if I like the combo of polychromos and watercolour, I will no doubt use this pair a few more times 😀 then decide.

Wonderful – what a regal character! The details in the plumage are just incredible, as usual, and he’s framed beautifully amongst the greenery.

Beautiful! I can almost sense him moving ever so slowly but then he is a painting, so that won’t happen! I really love how you handle the grasses around him, you knew exactly where to soften or highlight (slightly not to loose that soft look). Very sensitive….I think that who you are as an artist is very visible and discernible in this piece. Wow…..love it!

Margaret thank you so much, I really wish I had completed him all in watercolour, I think I could have achieved so much more movement, in fact my original intention was not to produce a scene, but just a loose pheasant…best laid plans ! Oh and I really enjoyed the grasses, nearly got over carried away 😀

I think its amazing! I love the green and blue blended together to make the color of the head! I also like the attention to detail you paid to the feathers.

Thank you, the green and blue is a blend of polychromos, I with I had stuck to watercolour, as I would have had more flexibility with moving the paint, but the pencils are great for detailed work, so they get a gold star for that…I’m still learning the pros and cons of coloured pencils, in particular the polychromos.
