I am starting another group of paintings on exotic and other hardwoods like cherry and maple. The secret to seeing the wood is a clear gesso. It allows the wood to be painted on while seeing some of the wood grain underneath.
Look for another blog post with some of the new paintings soon!
Which birds do you want me to paint? I paint a lot of North American birds because it's my home. But I love painting many birds from all over the world.
I love songbirds because they are so cute and fat and sweet.
I've been painting more kinds of birds like geese, owls, seabirds and more. I'm opened to suggestions and would love to hear from you!
Check out some of my paintings on hardwood panels at ChristenberryCollections.
There are bird paintings on purple heart wood, cherry, maple, and birch.
I used a clear gesso so parts of the natural wood grain shines through.
Currently working on bird and floral watercolor paintings and some North American birds like this red tailed hawk.
I did something different by adding some painted details to the side of the panel.
The painting is available here:
