Painting of Northern Cardinal (male) in pastel
I love painting birds but I find the feathers are a challenge to render with pastels on sandpaper. I am resisting the temptation to go back and tweak a few tufts of cheek feathers as I am never truly satisfied...

ReplyDeleteAw, thanks so much Hilda!!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have Cardinals in England so its a treat to see such a lovely pastel Colette.
ReplyDeleteHope you think of a suitable title soon ... I'm hopeless at naming my pictures LOL
Thank you Sue! Unfortunately, cardinals aren't very common here in Sudbury, but I did manage to see one at my feeder on one rare occasion!
