Peacock Painting
So this one has been a long time coming! All the paints out of the tin for this one! It took a long time and I was glad when it was done!
First, rough sketches, I liked the idea that the peacocks tail feathers should be flowers.
Next drawing the design out on watercolour paper and the starting to paint.
After a really long time... voila! The Boy of the bird is ultramarine with a bit of Prussian blue. The tail ( flower ) feathers are Rose madder, Alizarin Crimson, cadmium red and orange and a bit of winsor violet!
There are various superstitions about peacocks read about them here
Available as a Card and a prints.
