Birds, birds and more birds!


Artists who are members of the El Paso Transparent Watercolor Association have been working on BIRDS this spring and summer. We discussed differences in bird and human skeletal construction, studying bird behavior, flight and song. We shared birdwatching experiences, practiced painting techniques and drawing skills. 

Following are some of the great "bird" paintings they've done and want to share with you! If you enjoy our little virtual show, share this blog page with your friends. Just copy the url, above, and paste it into your own email inviting friends.
