Yes, I know! ;) I said - no more claybord, I'm done... Well, I just have proven I'm a liar ;) I'm missing the smoothness of the Claybord... Therefore I decided to give it a chance for third time. I've chosen to prime it with Non Absorbent Acrylic Primer. I've applied two fine layers by the brush, and even though the surface has achieved some texture created by the gesso, it's still satisfying my likeness. I have positive experience with gesso primer so far. This is how I did prime the paper for my very first study paintings (Jack the dog, and the Soldier). If gesso primer did work well on the paper, then why not on claybord? This is the task for me for New Year  ;) What the subject? Most probably some animal, just haven't decided which one yet. HAPPY NEW 2023 YEAR dear friends  ;)

I got frustrated while trying sketch out outlines today. I'm practicing the "thumb&pencil" method, I quite like to learn it, but in real life it gets me very off. My hand isn't precisely stable while holding at a front of me, and it seems, that the further I go, the more error is builded up... I have tried 3 times to apply corrections, but I felt it's taking me nowhere. I decided to use my tool - proportional divider. In "no time" I did sketch outlines, that I'm happy with. Can anybody help me to find out what species it is please? This is first time I'm attempting to paint this bird, and just realised I have picture with no name of the bird...

Thank you Fiona, I'll put the name on Google and will try to track it down - thanks!    Regarding outlines I'm upset, because I wish I could draw it without any tools in hand - I need much more training  ;)

Warbling white-eye - it looks pretty identical Fiona! I'll call it following your keen suggestion then, unless we might find even closer match, as this is just first try to identify this little beauty. I'm aware out there might be living different variations, and the colour might change depending on actual season... Thank you!

Warbling white-eye life spam is 5 years. It is little bird, weights just up to 13gram, and its length is around 11cm. Population size is unknown.

Warbling white-eye(Zosterops japonicus), is also known as the Japanese white-eye and mountain white-eye. It is a small *passerine bird in the white-eye family. The specific epithet is occasionally written japonica, but this is incorrect due to the gender of the genus. [*passerine is any bird of the order Passeriformes-from Latin passer 'sparrow' and formis '-shaped', which includes more than half of all bird species.]

*Its native range includes much of East Asia, including the Russian Far East, Japan, Indonesia, Korea, and the Philippines. It has been intentionally introduced to other parts of the world as a pet and as pest control, with mixed results. As one of the native species of the Japanese islands, it has been depicted in Japanese art on numerous occasions, and historically was kept as a cage bird.
