January finches

[radiantfracture]

It's January, when the only thing of any use I can do, on a good day, is paint pictures of house finches.





I knew that trying to render the second pose realistically would probably mean sodding up the angles, so I thought-- this has to be in a much looser style, more gestural.

I overworked it a little bit, but I enjoy the result and would like to do more in that style.

Thank you! Doing the lines with a small brush instead of a pen seems to create much more expression.
