I really enjoyed working on the crow yesterday, so decided to take another shot at it.
Again I started with a 6x6 piece of mat board and coated it with clear beeswax. Then I added a couple of light colours with the iron and blended them a bit.
The bird was roughly drawn into the wax with a pencil and I laid down a light blue first, to be able to scrape back to it.
For the "black" I mixed the three primary colours yellow, blue and red (nrs. 9, 42 and 44) in a metal tin on the hotplate and painted the main shape again. I fiddled a bit with the stylus for the beak and some small details. A bit more light blue + blending for the highlights
I think

I did not really finish a bigger project, but made good headway on two 12x12 panels.
This is one of them and there are several things which need work: undefined (wisteria or grapes, sic!), dominant dark lines at the bottom, purple spots are almost same size.
I like the top bit though, but will add a bit more white in the right hand corner.
Talk to you tomorrow,
all best,
Thea
