Of “fierce” and Falcons…

Here’s the falcon image transfer I referred to before. I have lost a bit of his back and some plumage, but his amazing face and eye are still there. I just added a little colour with the Inktense pencils and a charcoal one to the left, and wrote around him:

RAJ this week is all about words and word-play – love it! I am also taking Shwe Khit’s “Sweetened Simplicity” self-study class to learn how to create lovely faces in Photoshop. I am LOVING it… Nick is away to France this week for the World Carp Classic and he has treated me to this great class, because he could see how excited I was when I found it! I am learning so much about Photoshop tools that I never knew, I can’t begin to tell you what a revelation it is! ♥

I love this! Besides being a beautiful work of art, falcons are one of my favorite birds. They are amazing! I’ve been fortunate to see them up close and in person several times. They are noble and elegant, and extraordinarily smart!

….and one more thing I forgot to say: I know how much you hate working with the papers in that book, but I must tell you that I love the effect of the soaked paint in the finished product, especially combined with the bits you see of the pages behind the one you’re photographing at the time.
