Hi All,
Well I have started another picture now......... Humming bird...
here is the sketch [feint] with basic background wash
you can just about make out the little bird in the middle of picture :)

I am trying with an 'out of focus' back ground........we shall see if it works :) :) 

more to come.......

Hi All, 

here is an update picture of the Humming bird .........

 Here I have added a few more back ground leaves and stems.....

may be I should leave it 'simplistic' and walk away from it ?

:) :) 

Hi All.

Well this one has gone to my grand daughter.........so I had to do my wife a replacement..........

here ....

watch this space :)

have a fun day :)
