Day 5: spotted! I’ve seen this guy in my backyard a time or two. They are not as common as other backyard birds, but I love seeing them when they visit.

So these are my pieces for days 1-4. Figgy is one of my ducks

I see that we both chose WTSP for number 2 @LacyDuckwing! I love the little guys and they are always a welcome sign of autumn/winter when they show up, though I haven’t seen any yet this year.

Also coincidentally, I painted the same bird as @SemiSweet2391 did for day 3 as well!

Great minds think alike, right?

Anyways I haven’t gotten to today’s yet. There are SO MANY pretty spotted birds — it’s hard to decide!

Wow! These are amazing!! I love your style so much. The white gouache and the black outlines both add so much personality to your pieces.

Thanks so much!!! It’s actually white gel pen — this one (feat. my field guide lol):

Your watercolor art is a huge inspiration for me, so this compliment means a lot!!

This is pretty! Brown thrashers have such great personalities — they’re pretty bold & outgoing, or at least have seemed to be that way the few times I’ve seen them.

Thank you! I like them too. Fun to watch

So, this is my day 3 "Pollinator", I did a Ruby-throated hummingbird. I'm still currently working on 4-5. We'll just have to see if I can get those done, because I've just been so busy But if I do I'll post those later today as well.
