This dude has the best colour scheme!
Enjoying gouache more and more with each new piece. It's exciting seeing it come together - even though the first few layers look *rough*!

They look like they're wearing makeup.

Update: My PC repair process has begun. I made this on my phone in the meantime.

A New Holland Honeyeater for #birbfest. I always enjoy the angry bird effect that happens when you get a face-on picture of birds. Reference photo by user melissadoherty on inaturalist.

Utterly magical!
Excuse the shaky video and wind noises. We had the most wonderful experience at Clevedon sea wall today. Thousands and thousands of mostly dunlin. The sound of them flying past was incredible. The way the colour changes as they turn around. It was hypnotising. #AvonBirds

Nuthatches are cool because with their go-faster-stripes and them constantly being upside down for some reason they always look like they're Very Seriously Going Somewhere. #Birbfest, day 23.
