Falcon #3

By
Finally have time to work on the falcon etching I started in the beginning of  July. This is just a bit smaller than A3 (297 x 420 mm) size, so might take awhile. I did stab myself twice with my etching tool, which is just a metal scriber sharpened and hardened to a point, which of course I managed to stab myself with twice yesterday. Need more plasters lol

A close up of the beak area. You can see the etching is just cross hatching on the plexi to create the right shapes.

    Boy, these are GORGEOUS images!!
    I have a real appreciation of that etching tool. I stabbed myself a couple of times and that was it! Hats off to you for your determination - the payoff is having an outstanding piece of artwork!!

    Both are wonderful ~ intriguing how you did the closeup of the eye and then the distant one ~ Be gentle with yourself ~ ^_^

Summer of Colour #3

By

This weeks colours for The Summer of Color are 2 purples and a yellow and this is what I did with them. Not my favorite colours so really racked my brain trying to think how I could use them and which bird to use. Decided to go with a juvenile Golden Eagle since I don't have any photos of a purple bird :p I think I prefer the black background, the yellow seems to stand out more against it. Which do you prefer?
