Sneak peek on future posters (Patreon)

Good morning False Knees Fans!

This week I'd like to highlight a side project Josh has been working on for several weeks. He really likes to spend a long time hand-painting very detailed pictures of birds, which he offers in his store as medium-sized and poster-sized prints  So far he has painted a crow, a seagull and a bluebird, and during his shows he was also selling a beautiful poster of a grackle. 

The latest additions he's working on are paintings of a robin and a red-winged blackbird, which should make their appearance in his store in a few weeks once he finishes them, digitises them and adds a vibrant background that compliment the bird! The grackle will be available online as well, at the same time (I've attached a picture of the finished poster below). I hope you enjoy pictures of his work in progress:

The robin and red-winged blackbird are currently around 7x8". He works with gouache, starts with the bottom layer and slowly and progressively layers his recognisable little strokes of paintbrush to form the bird's plumage and give it depth. It takes a LONG time - I can't wait to see them when they're finished! 

I hope you're enjoying these updates as much as I enjoy making them. Happy Canada Day everyone!
