After almost two months of sitting on my easel I finally finished the Kingfisher this past weekend.

| Filling it in |
 |
| Look there is a bird |
 |
| And the bird has an eye |
 |
| The sign is made of wood |
 |
| The bird has some shadow and some highlight on the wood |
 |
| NO FISHING was added |
 |
| More highlights on the wood |
 |
| Weathering the wooden sign |
 |
| More weathering and a fish |
 |
| DONE (can’t you tell by the smile on my face!) |
As per usual I painted this with my PLAID Paints (I love them so much). I really need to start writing down the colors I use there were so many in this one I don’t think I could remember them all. I didn’t even use Paynes Grey in this one (shocking I know) I discovered Burnt Umber, a little Cobalt and some Black makes a really nice Paynes grey.
This is the scan I did of the painting I have not taken “outside photos” yet – I plan on doing that today.
