#britishrobin

Every December I do a robin based art piece, this (last!) year I wanted to show off both my own darling British robin, but also the American robin, which is common where I currently live, as an expat! ...we will ignore that it is February and not December. It’s been a busy couple of months!

Nearly done! I may have to pause on the final touches of this one as I discovered, to my horror, I don’t have another of my favourite white pencils - one of the only ones that can make decent highlights - and so I am about to do a art supplies order (Oh no, what a shame...)

British Robin is finally finished! My first truly mixed media piece, he was created with a lot of experimentation. Panpastels, pastel pencils, coloured pencils AND watercolour ended up making an appearance in this piece and I loved every minute. I miss seeing robins bopping around.

Isolation Artwork-British robin-these are such sweet little birds, so different to the North American robin, which is actually a thrush. I think the British one is a finch. #watercolorpainting #aceopainting #watercolour #britishrobin #robinpainting #birdpainting #canadianartist #vancouverartist https://www.instagram.com/p/B-AczlVH8CE/?igshid=1rod2p6rjz6gk
