Such cute little fellows! You have a beautiful way of drawing birds, their feathers look so fluffy and their eyes are gleaming so vividly I really enjoy looking at them

I just love how you seem to capture these Frogmouth's poofy-ness (their feathers). They just seem so very curious with those large eyes: I think you executed this picture very well.

I have a couple of special brushes shaped like fans - I have no idea what they're called but they're very useful!

Thank you Jocelyne! I'm moving out to the Caribbean for a couple of years in January, so as long as I can get art supplies I'm hoping to work on some tropical birds!

Great painting, but frogmouths are actually not related to owls

WendyMitchell In reply to meihua [2011-10-31 20:56:45 +0000 UTC]

Oh really? Thanks so much - I hate to get those things wrong - can you tell me what family they are in?

meihua In reply to WendyMitchell [2011-11-01 02:01:06 +0000 UTC]

They're in family Podargidae; they're related to nightjars. [link]

WendyMitchell In reply to meihua [2011-11-01 07:11:03 +0000 UTC]

Thank you - that's really good to know. I don't know why, but I always thought they were a type of owl.

Well, they do look very like owls from the front

A very endearing little painting. At least I'm assuming it's little, to suit these little characters.
