A Splendid Day Out

Fairy wrens are one of my favourite birds. I love their personality and of course they are just the cutest. Near where I live there are a lot of Superb fairy wrens but I would love to see some Splendid fairy wrens in real life too, but until then I have painted a pair, one male in full breeding plumage and a female, I hope you enjoy them as much I did creating them. Panpastels, charcoal and artists quality coloured pencils on Canson Mi-Teintes 160gsm pastel paper. This artwork has been sprayed with archival quality fixative. Requires framing.

Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, I have always loved drawing and art. Art has always been something I have loved and come back to as a hobby as time and inspiration arose. I am mostly a self-taught artist and only started using the watercolour medium late 2016. Before this I mainly used graphite and coloured pencils for basic drawings. Mid 2017 I completed a short watercolour botanical art course that improved my ability and understanding of the medium and has been the stepping stone to my growth as an artist. I joined the Hobsons Bay Arts Society mid 2018 after participating in the 5 x 7 art prize and have really enjoyed and learnt a lot through workshops and demonstrations held by the society. Being a member of the society has also opened up new mediums to me, after doing a portrait course I now love using pastels and charcoal too. My subject matter is usually nature based as I am constantly inspired by the world around me.
