Trying this on Claybord. Also transferred to 140 hot press. Schmincke Transparent Orange is the base for the red breast. This is probably as far as I’ll get before IRL.

Not sure about the background… always a risk

Added some greens. Slow going!

I think this little bird is complete for now.

Meadow Cranes-bill on Clay Bord

Meadow cranes-bill on paper

The pencil transfer part on the right disappeared so I sort of drew the leaves freehand. That’s why they are different from the example. Fun trying.

Slow go

Slow work on the robin. I’m reading the new Austin Kleon book Don’t Call It Art. Helping me forge ahead.
