This lovely gouache and pastel on paper is a combination of painting and drawing. Layer after layer of color was applied to achieve the three dimensional impression of this wonderful and happy bird. The paper is a hand dyed paper from France, each piece of paper is unique. The bird belongs to a friend and that made it all the more fun to draw and paint this artwork. The bird was the model and having her in front of me brought much joy and understanding of this wonderful animal. A gold leaf medallion encircles the head to show how special the bird is.
I love bright colors and the ability to create layers in pastel and gouache is a lot of fun. Animals are one of my favorite subjects to paint. Martha Holden has a large following and has sold art to satisfied clients worldwide. Art is a wonderful thing to enjoy or to share as a gift! Feel free to commission me to create a portrait of your favorite animal. See less
