Artist's Comments

Technically this is a manipulated monotype.
Acrylic and graphite on paper. 4x6 inches.

First, the colors are very complimentary of one another. It's very pleasing to the eye how you integrate and develop varying hues within the palette. I also enjoy how you use negative space to balance the composition. Although I love the white dot of eye, I feel it a bit too stark for the mutation of colors you've chosen. I would suggest toning it down just a tad to better integrate with the overall design. As it stands now, it seems to protrude as a detachment, or a last minute addition vs. a smooth integration of overall style and layout.

I know it needs something to balance but I'm uncertain the black swoop of line is the thing to do it. I personally feel it, in combination with the signature, detracts a bit too much from this priceless little treasure.

As always, enjoy and look forward to your posts.

I like the colours. I almost feel as though there is a little too much orange at the left upper corner. Perhaps just because it throws the balance slightly off. But even so, the texture and the brightness in comparison to the dark back of the bird makes it all worthwhile - sun flares and forests. ^_^ You know I love your birds! And this one is no exception. :heart:

Well that's the colour blend I am into right now :D

The "wet" staines below the texture look well integrated with those interesting textures.

I wonder how it would look if that curve line -the bird's belly- were softer or broken... but that's just a guess ;) looks like everytime you add less drawing/lines so I might know pretty soon.

Thank you for your thoughts on this. The orange in the corner is just one of those things that occur when I attempt to do a monotype.
Thanks!

Oi! love it, same here on the subject off the line, it seems misplaced a bit, it depends on how you look at it, in 3D or 2D any way I love the color combination you choose.
Even if my favorit is black and purple, you should try, make a Funky Fresh bird next :) I would have tried it but I don't have the technique you have :)

Great job as always keep it up :)

I love this! The way the colors blend and mellow together, and the texture is amazing! I really like the semi circle shape, and how the bird flows out of it. The bright white eye is a bit distracting, though. Excellent work!

Thank you! The eye will be remedied.

I love the way the paint seems like veins, or vines. Makes for a really neat effect.
