New oil painting of my favorite bird, The Robin! Original artwork by @mayasky.

Hi Everyone!

Today I wanted to share my latest painting, I just finished it this afternoon :)
It's of the little Robin!

Here it is;

The painting measures 18 x 13 cm, or 7 x 5 inches, so it's quite small!
I had to work with my smallest detail brushes to get all the details and shapes I wanted, but I had a lot of fun and would like to paint another one soon.

I learned a lot from painting this composition and would like to try and improve some of the design elements in my next painting.
Like the painted wood in the background. I don't have much experience painting this type of texture and I think I made it a lot more difficult than it had to be 😅

Oh well, lesson learned! 😊

This is the palette I used for this painting;

The colors going from left to right are;

• Ivory black
• Raw Umber
• French Ultramarine Blue
• Turquoise Clear
• Permanent Rose
• Vermilion
• Iron Oxide Yellow
• Windsor Yellow
• Titanium White

All the other color mixes on my palette are made from these 10 colors.
I really like to premix my colors before I start a painting. This way I can focus a lot better on the painting and keep the ''flow''.

I have two Robins in my garden and they are just the sweetest little beings!💓
Can't wait to paint another!

I filmed some of the process while painting this little Robin, so in the next couple of days, I'll post a progress video.

I hope you like the painting!

Love, inspiration and happy painting,
Marie
