European Hornet

This was my first time working with Arches watercolor paper. I really liked it but it destroyed my fine-liner after I finished this piece. Will definitely try hot press next.

Traditional drawing done of a European Hornet made with watercolors and ink. The Hornet has yellow, orange and dark orange throughout and it’s standing on a leaf which is drawn more loosely and suggested rather than a full leaf that’s detailed. It was made in 2023.

Y'all love a blue bird, so here's Costa Rica's answer, a Blue-Gray Tanager. I can't get over how close the color is to our Mountain Bluebird. #Birding #Costarica

“Before the Storm”. Coloured pencil and oil pastel on watercolour paper. While I didn’t want to pet this hyena, or get any closer, he did intrigue me, and the artist in me was captivated by the textures of fur and muzzle. #SciArt
Coloured pencil drawing of the profile of an orange and tan mammal with dark spots and a dark muzzle, stretching out his neck and pricking his ears forward.

A backyard camera-feeder first: this big hairy woodpecker roots through the scraps left behind by a big hairy squirrel. I’m getting my suet log up and running today – more to this guy’s liking. #birds

It's going to be a big finch year, and I've been seeing reports of Pine Grosbeaks in Northern MN already! I painted these in 2023, shortly after the first and only time I've seen these lovely birds.

#BirdArt #SciArt #Watercolor #FineArt #AnimalArt
Detailed watercolor painting of a pair of pine grosbeaks perched on a spruce branch. The male is on the left of the image and light-red with black and white wings. The female is standing in front of the male's tail and is gray with orange-yellow on her head with black and white wings.

Feeling tired of Watercolor. Got a new sketchbook that doesnt take it well but takes pencil amazing. So Instead I colored a traditional sketch digitally. Have not digitally colored in a while so this is a nice change of pace. What do you think? #digital #sciart #bugsky #sketchbook #sketches

Earlier this year, biologist Gregory O’Corry-Crowe and an international research team used drones to observe narwhals in the wild. They learned surprising new things about the whales' behavior: buff.ly/DqSBGFM
"They have very complex, sophisticated societies, and there's a lot of interesting interactions between individual animals and other species. And the hits just keep coming. Every day we fly, we see something completely new and amazing." —Dr. Greg O'Corry-Crowe

Oh I could not resist drawing both of these male and female Kajil Pheasants for #Birdtober! I love how they look like they’re making a courtly bow to each other. Lol.

Probably closer to an hour and a half in #Procreate.

#birds #SciArt #BirdArt #DailyChallenge #ArtChallenge #DigitalArt
A male and female kajil pheasant with one leg forward sort of bow to each other. The male on the left has blueish tones and a large, flamboyant tail. The female on the right has a mostly brown and white tipped feather pattern with some blue tones at the edge of the wing and her tail. Both have red patches surrounding their eyes.

Great Blue Heron

#art #digital #digitalart #bird #wadingbird #greatblueheron #heron #wildlife #sciart #artnwill #myart
Digital painting of a Great Blue Heron. The background of the drawing is made of various shades of orange, ranging from a light orange to a rusty, almost brown color. The background is very textured, with some places being smooth and others showing more of the brush strokes. The bird is drawn in a side view profile and is facing to the right from the left side of the canvas. He is made up of various shades of blues, a bit of turquoise and aquas, and white. The style of this painting is realistic, with the artist depicting plumage.
