Vulturine Guineafowl

Another quick one, well as quick as I seem to be able to do watercolours. The Vulturine Guineafowl of Africa. In this case coming through the grass.

Olive-backed Sunbirds

Some more coloured pencil work. Olive-backed sunbirds, olive-backed sunbird, Nectarina jugularis. A male and female, they are fairly common in parks and gardens, and are found throughout SE Asia into Northern Australia.

Lovely little birds. Where possible I try and do things life size, so I think the finished painting is about 12x16 inches in size.

Crimson Rosella

This is a Crimson Rosella, Platycercus elegans, I did while playing around with some pencils. It is easy to forget just how cool pencil work can be.

The Crimson Rosella is a large parrot native to southeastern Australia.
