“R” is for Raven for #charsartclass with #birdsindecember2022 I painted this bird with mostly only a palette knife and a small brush towards the end for finer details. This way I could concentrate on values and building form. I love the mark-making and texture you can get with a palette knife..so freeing and so much faster to paint! I painted this in under an hour! 🤩😎 I also loved the way my palette looked when I was done so I took another piece of paper and pressed the palette onto it, moving it around a couple of times and love the result! Now I have a fun background to use for another piece! 🆒 . . . . . #bird #birds #birdart #birdartist #birdpainting #paletteknifepainting #teachingartist #jenniferlindermanart #oaklandartist #expressiveart #raven #ravenart #ravenpainting #corvid #corvidart #corvidpainting #painting #highflowacrylics #mixedmediapaper @strathmoreart #noblack #paynesgrey #white #create (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmb2uXCLwSD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

by complete accident, i stumbled on @blueshineart live art class this morning so decided to draw (everyone else was painting, but i was so not ready). i ran out of time to do the quote justice, but here is my portrait of Madeleine Albright, who recently died of cancer, the first female US secretary of state. Rest in peace. thank you for blazing the path for generations of women to come. #charsartclass #portrait #posca #molotovmarkers https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbf0hg-LWFK/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Q” is for Queen Victoria Riflebird. This is the female bird. Thank you to @michaeleastwell photographer for giving me permission to use his photo to paint from.

“L” is for Little Blue Penguin with #charsartclass for #birdsindecember2022 I changed the background in Photoshop to remove the glare of the original surface but it removes some of the color saturation so the next few photos are in it’s original form.
