Scarlet Macawby *CamillaMalcus

Traditional Art / Paintings / Animals

Watercolour, 21 * 21 cm.
2012

I sort of rushed this one towards the end, because I wasn't very happy with the way it was progressing. I may refine the plumage later on, but I thought I'd upload the painting in its current state since I'm going away for a bit. (If I do work on it further, I'll post an update.) Then again, I might just leave the painting the way it is, and start on something new when I'm back.

I'm afraid I won't have time to reply any comments for a week or so, but as always, they're very much appreciated.

Cheers!

EDIT: I have done some minor touch-ups of the body plumage, deepening the hues a bit and adjusting some shadows. It's far from perfect, but I believe the change is for the better. I hope you agree. :)

Your gorgeous watercolours never cease to whisk me away, one could gaze forever and a day, still finding new details that stun and amaze!

I adore the beautiful colours of the macaw and the realism of the feathery plumage. And how amazing does your background look with those splashes of wondrous colour creating such an incredible DOF effect

You have such mastery of the medium, your watercolours inspire me like no other, they're simply breathtaking!

Aw, wow, that's some comment..! Thank you sweetie, I truly appreciate it, you know.

I'm pleased with the background for once, it was worth the extra effort (and despair) to achieve. I'm not so sure about the rest, but it was fun to paint and the bright colours were very uplifting to use.
Did I show you the old painting of two scarlet macaws that I painted when I was, like.. tiny? Hehe, I'm glad I've made some progress since then.
