I had a fabulous three days on a workshop with Dina Wakely. A truly talented lady if ever there was one! Day one we painted birds, the backgrounds were meant to be full of art journal techniques to add some interest, but in all honesty when I painted my canvas I just loved it before I got to that part, so I stopped.
So here’s my practice piece with a single bird, and below the three birds again but with some extra elements in the background.
I’m thinking I may do another canvas as I enjoyed making these so much. Maybe I should add some into my journals.

Beautiful! I would have a hard time adding to the background of your first canvas. Question..I have a vintage picture of birds like that. Was it transfer or mod podged to the canvas and painted over? What a cool idea.
Karenliz - the outline of the birds was a traced onto the canvas then painted in freehand.
