I'm working on a new bird painting. This one is Mr. Brown Creeper. Or it could be Mrs. for all I know. Maybe I should figure that out. OK, I'm back. I googled it and males and females look alike.
My creeper will come to being on this ground. I first covered the board support with yellow ochre, then I used my new foam stamp to put down a basketweave pattern. It was a little more blue, but I painted another thin wash of yellow ochre over it.
After that dried, I put down a darker teal color over on the right. Next will come that leaf pattern you see on the tracing paper. It's a design I worked out using vintage fabric and wallpaper patterns as inspiration. I'll trace it on top of the teal bar, with a partial repeat, then paint it in.
If all goes well tomorrow, I'll have more to show you on Friday. Ta ta till then!
