Lorikeet Painting (for LoriBabies)

[Wings]

I was bored, and thought of our member "LoriBabies"... I got out my paint and canvas and painted a lorikeet...I know...it's bad but i just wanted to share it with you guys! (the head is so ugly) Enjoy!

 

[LoriBabies]

That's not ugly at all! You're very talented! I couldn't do that if I tried. The blue head colour is spot on. I'm so glad my babies inspired you

 

[Wings]

tomorrow i'm going to add the blackish red streaks on the head, and giving it feather dimension I'd still like to see a video of your babies in action

 

[LoriBabies]

Make sure you post it, please, love to see that! I will try and get a video of both of them, Pistachio still isn't Zazu's biggest fan so they tend not to spend too much time together haha

i really like it! it's simple, yet, i like the overall composition of it. i think the colour scheme is very well done.

 

[Mare Miller]

Please, don't ever put your art down. This is amazing! Keep going, I look forward to the finished piece.

Thanks Me feather dimension is so hard to do with paint... especially a lorikeet with those deep, blue head feathers. 0_o

 

[Mare Miller]

Sometimes, less is more. I've done work that looked better before I added to it. If you like it, stop.

 

[LoriBabies]

Please, don't ever put your art down. This is amazing! Keep going, I look forward to the finished piece.

Well said!!!

Personal artwork is always a wonderful talent/addition to someone's life/home. I always admired the talent and i feel i have a 'visual' talent to a point and could likely be an excellent photographer if i tried, but i definitely lack the manual talent to paint/draw. I started out an art history minor because i so appreciate visual art, but again, more in a visual aesthetic way than manual crafty way. My niece is pretty talented too and i have asked her to draw me a pencil sketch of my house that i can frame and put on a wall in my home. Something very unique and special about that, that can't be replaced.

Thanks so much! Everyone, your encouraging posts prompted me to make another painting of a scarlet macaw! If you'd like check it out! way better than this one imo

 

[MarciaLove]

[Wings]

I think you did a great job on the painting - a beautiful painting of a beautiful bird.
