Another Memory Box and my first bird painting
Permalink  

Hello everyone,

Loving seeing everyon'es crafts, there are sooo many very talented people out there. 
I have finished another Memory Box I only brought the lid on the road with me and I have included a piccy of my first bird painting. It is a Tui a NZ native bird and the flowers are Kowhai also a NZ native flora

Would really appreciate some constructive criticism I know Ive made a mistake at the bottom of the wings on the left hand side but not sure why it doesnt look right can anyone help?

Regards Judes

Hi, it is really very nice. If I may offer my opinion, I think the wing is a bit short and it should maybe be more tapered (sharper) and blend more into the body and tail. But in saying that, the pic is great as it is . Bear is perfect.

Cheers,

Peter

Im not much good for critism yet having just started. Love the bear. I would work on getting more detail in the bird, which is what i am trying to learn at the moment. Taking more time over details.
