Warming Up! by Fiona Phipps

That's a winner! Cute!

I'm thinking the same, just been reading the article in LP by Liz Chaderton, applying gold leaf etc to a little bird or animal painting. You've beaten me to it Fiona, I'm still thinking. Lovely little sketch btw. Posted by Marjorie Firth on Sat 03 Nov 14:33:23

Marjorie I’ve copied and pasted your comment on to this Robin, some how it was posted twice. Gold leaf.....I haven’t got anything exotic like that......lol, should look good though! Thank you both very much, before you know it, ‘IT’ will be here.

This is a beauty as it stands - simple, free and so spontaneous.

Lovely warm up Fiona

I think you have cracked it Fiona, he's certainly bobbin up and down !!!

Yes you have that impression of their movement Fiona, a cutie!

Aah he is so cute Fiona. I agree that you have got the bobbing up and down.

This is great Fiona!

Aww he looks lovely Fiona, you've got the movement! I haven't even thought about cards yet!!!!!!!!

Thanks very much Michael, Dennis, Linda, Carol, Carole, Margaret and Margaret! I was hoping that you would tell me if he looked as though he was bobbing. Such characters. Thank you.

He seems in a hurry, you have deffo caught his darting about on this.

Fiona, I haven't got any gold leaf either...but I do have some gold wax...might try that.

Jen thank you! Gold wax sounds interesting Marjorie, I think in small amounts it could look pretty stunning. I’ve got gold glitter?!

A cute little bobbin' Robin. He's lovely Fiona!

Beautiful little bird, he'll make a lovely card.

Very good Fiona. It would / will make a super card.

A little cutie, Fiona! I don’t want to think about IT yet but probably have to soon...

He's a cracker Fiona, definitely full of movement.

Love it!

I love how you treat your subjects - sensitive painting!

Val, Julie, Shaun.......thank you very much indeed for your comments, much appreciated.

A very alert and cute robin.
