Two birds.
Today I knew it was my 500th painting so I wanted it to be different than my normal landscapes. I chose to paint these two sparrows. One reason choosing it was, a painting of sparrow 4 years back, when I started, gave me so much confidence.
Sketch
Birds are simple objects and easy to sketch. So I spent some time sketching it better.
I tried some different combinations for the background and finally washed them all away to keep it simple.
Then started to paint the sparrows. First one came well .. rushed through the second and messed its head a bit
