Swooshing paint for WOYWW

Boy have I had fun this week.

I painted my birds eyes, beaks

and feet. 

I couldn't see the birds feet in the photo

so I used the next best thing,

a live model

 and here he is.

My Charlie was very obliging and held

his little tootsies up everytime I needed them.

He wasn't too sure about the large birds

behind him.

I'm really pleased with how the

feet and

 faces turned out.

Here's the overall this morning

before class.

Thanks for your help with the comments

on red blobs in the background

I took them on board and 

didn't go with them.

Next came the glazing in class,

boy that was fun and scary

all at once.

 I had to leave my canvas at class

as the glaze was still wet

so these pictures were taken on my 

phone camera.

The fact you are about to see these

pictures is a miracle in itself.

I spent ages and lots of swearing,

tongue poking and yelling

but I managed to get the pictures from 

my phone to the computer.

Then it took me an hour to find where

the pictures were on the computer

but finally here they are..

This doubles as a picture of my desk,

it's at class but I forgot to take a photo

of the one at home before I actually 

cleaned it up, yep, I actually

cleaned up a bit.

I can't show a photo of a tidy desk,

that would ruin my reputation!!

The phone doesn't capture

the colours well, it's 

really bright and wonderful.

I still have more glazing to go.

My teacher said I need to do a purple layer

and I want to fix up the big wing,

it looks a bit too blobby.

 All in all I'm liking this more

and more.

Well, that's my sorta desk

for this week.

 Hop on over to 

Julia's Stamping Ground

and see other desks 

around the world

this wednesday.

P.S:  I hope all in the UK and Europe are okay after that

nasty looking storm this week.
