Blue Beakface by Firedrake

Blue Beakface by

Been a while since I did a beakface. This one has a hinged beak! A bit out of shape though.

Little – 10×15cm, watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte, iridescent blue pigments (on the feather tips) on canvas. Unbelievably, unlike most other photos of my works, you can kind of see the iridescent pigments!

    Haha, love the tags :)
    He looks great, like he’s off to the pub for a pint (for which a hinged beak would be perfect for!) LOL!

  • Haha yeah it is the classic beer belly! Looks pretty firm.

    Your art would make for a great story. Have you done any books?
