| A pair of delightful hoodie crows! |
Last month, I painted Deirdre, a small ghost model, created by Andrew Rae of Statuesque Miniatures. It was a fun process, and it encouraged me to consider painting some of his other creations like Left at the Bottom of the Garden, a series of lost and abandoned toys. I settled on painting a pair of adorable stuffed birds, the Hoodie Crows!

| To imply feathers, I painted a regular texture on the wings of the crows. These feathers were painted using Scalecolor Graphene, followed by a few successive highlights using a mix of Scalecolor Graphene and Rainy Gray. |

| I had a lot of fun painting the branch this crow is perched upon, using some enamels and glazing to impart subtle color, like areas of green and russet. |

Nice work, particularly that wood color.
ReplyDeleteWood is an interesting thing to paint. You can get in a lot of colors other than brown when painting wood.
DeleteThank you! They were a joy to paint!
