This is my little cousin Olivia, our newest family member. I wanted to make a children's book while she is still little so I guess I'll start now and figure it out as I go. :) Her teenage sister Alice is good sports and models for my reference photos, she appears on my paintings regurlarly.

In the early 1980’s, we began preparing separate spread wings to help illustrate features of birds that had never been accurately drawn. Today our collection of spread wings is the largest in the world, preserving more than 40,000 specimens.

Thank you. :) The texture, tooth and no sizing. This is a printmaking paper but it works great for dry media because its lack of external sizing and a 60% cotton content. It has a natural grain surface, it holds the pencil marks sharp and nicely. The tooth is good for layering.

I hate it when I like expensive paper.😢 Loved this fabriano rosaspina for dry media. Watercolor, conte pencils and oil pastels in mostly sanguine, black and white. #horse #Sciart #natureart #BRart #oilpastels #conte #drawing

Unfortunately no. 😢 I went to Iguazu Falls National park years ago but wasn't lucky. At least I got to see many tucanos and parrots and pet macaws at the birds park.
