The goldfinches are back and they are voracious eaters! I have about 5 feeders and they eat out of every one. This little girl bird had such a soft and gentle look about her, contrasting with the very bright yellow males. I used Daniel Smith Hansa yellow, green gold, quinacridone gold and indigo for the bird. It looked pretty bland without any background so I got out the Brusho. I covered her up and wet the area behind her, sprinkled with Turquoise and squirted just a little bit. It's always a bit of a gamble to see what happens but that makes it exciting! Staying safe all the time is boring and you don't grow much as an artist.
