This one is an A5, on black paper, painted entirely with the stylus. Chinese writing is silver, and means "joy" :D Helen thought they were parrots! :lol:

Wow!

How striking. The birds are wonderful, and the bamboo just right.
You've really captured the movement of birds as well - Great composition!

Well done! :thumbup; :thumbup;

They're sooooo pretty - and very oriental - love the colours

It's not cheating to copy photos and things, we'd all have to have photographic memories to do things straight from our heads - think I remember reading somewhere even some of the great masters used to use those see-through grid things, which they held up against models and landscapes

Got to get inspiration from somewhere :thumbup; :thumbup; ;)

love x :wave:
