Artist Statement
This series of watercolours is portraits of birds. By focusing on the birds’ heads and expressions I have tried to evoke each one’s unique personality. I blend realism with the a touch of humour. Over many years, I have developed a technique of building up multiple layers of translucent washes to create 3D forms and a vibrant depth of colour. Dry brush and coloured pencils are added at the end for texture.
