Bird Enjoying Spring

This bird is sitting on a rock and singing spring time song! I painted this landscape for my Oil Painting Class I am currently teaching.
Artisans Winsor and Newton - water mixable oils are used in this painting. I was fun to use a limited palette from the beginner's set - U. Blue, Ali. Crimson, Yellow, White.

    1. Hi John, Thanks for looking. Actually one can get a great color range just with 3 basic colors!

  2. Love the textures and the colors, they are so cheerful, apt for the title! I havent tried water based oils, do you prefer them to regular ones?

    2. Oh water based oils are quite same as regular oils. Except more convenient to clean brushes with just water. I don't do plein air, but its great for it!

  3. I love all the blues in this painting, and the bird seems to be looking far away and kind of meditating :-) A striking work !

    1. Hmm... I should have put the title - "meditation in spring" :) I like the idea of meditation on such a colorful, peaceful atmosphere!
