Art Bird Cards 2021
My drawing of a pacific slope flycatcher is one of 35 images that make up the Art Bird Card Project, a co-operative venture of the Metchosin Foundation, Rocky Point Bird Observatory, the Metchosin ArtPod and local artists. These card sets feature common birds seen in the lower Vancouver Island area. One side features the artistic representation of the bird, and the other contains the bird’s name, identification information and some field notes. Card sets are available from the Metchosin Biodiversity Project. I contributed a drawing of a pileated woodpecker to the 2020 Art Bird Card Project. |

New coloured pencil drawings
using a fresh technique I've been experimenting with using coloured pencil in a way that doesn't involve framing with matting and glass. Instead, the finished drawing is varnished to protect the surface and framed as one would an oil or acrylic painting. It's a learning experience because the surface does not offer the same opportunities to achieve fine details, forcing me to loosen up and work differently. I am enjoying the challenge and pleased with the outcomes so far! |
