Tropical Birds in Flight

Last month, I decided to step away from painting plants and flora and paint birds for a change! It was quite a challenge - my overthinking brain wanted to paint all the feathery details, add more textures etc. but ended up just flowing with the paint (and saving some time, ha!). I think these ended up quite well and I’m in the process of painting more <3

There’s really something more to learn with watercolors even though I’ve been painting for about a decade now, and I’m definitely stoked to add painting birds to my skills!

I converted these paintings into stock art, which you can use for your patterns, templates, invitations, and other personal projects!
