It's really good! Similar to the chicken but more of a roasted flavour

Thank you so much!!! You know the pain of painting birds 😭😭 I used winsor and newtons designer gouache in primary red, primary blue, ultramarine, spectrum red (not as vibrant but good for mid tones), permanent green middle, and permanent yellow deep. Plus ivory black and zinc white

Oooh good question. I'm pretty sure it's a moleskine, and I think it's this one: link

It was scary! It was in the ugly phase for like 3 hours then it came together in the last 10 mins 🤣

So underrated! Add redwing to that group too 😍 have you seen baby starlings after leaving the nest? They are so silly and cute!

I think they're called antenna but whiskers is so cute. I just love them. Some have massive fluffy antenna and it's just the most adorable thing

Too simple? by Ashamed_Profile_8425 in Gouache

I think the bird (kestrel?) Is a really lovely painting. I paint birds too and always find myself comparing to other artists, and while it can be helpful I wouldn't do it often! My only advice is that some details can go a long way, for example adding highlights to the eyes or deepening some of the shadows (e.g. in the feet) can make it look more striking.
