Calling all bird loving artists! This month's bird is the Turkey Vulture! 🩷 Draw! Paint! Sculpt! We hope you'll join us. Posting day is Oct 29th.

Rules and Full Size Ref. Photo here: birdwhispererproject.com/participate/

Free Use Photo: pixabay.com/photos/turke... #birds #BirdWhisperer #art
Regal Turkey Vulture perched on a tree branch, seen in side profile. The branch extends into the background and branches off in opposite directions. Description from Wikipedia: The body feathers are mostly brownish-black, more black around the head and neck, but the flight feathers on the wings appear to be silvery-gray beneath, contrasting with the darker wing linings. The adult's head is small in proportion to its body and is red in color with few to no feathers. It also has a relatively short, hooked, ivory-colored beak.

after the success of the crow hair claw, I'm planning on making some winter/Christmas-y birds as well! What other birds or critters would you be interested in seeing as a hair claw?

Reposting my hooded crow from this time last year because I love his little fall vibes.

(Ref photo by Akbar Nemati)
🦢🐡 #art #birds
a digital painting of a hooded crow. the bird is centered in the image, with most of his body facing forward to the viewer, and his head in profile so that his bill is pointing to the left. he is mostly white with a black head and spots on his wings and tail, but the artist has included flourishes of aqua and blue in his feathers. he is surrounded by yellow and orange leaves that become more and more abstract as they fall to the background. a few blades of green grass cut the front from the left corner.

I'm a couple months late with this @birdwhisperers.bsky.social challenge from July. Still #Birdtober though!

Sulphur-crested Cockatoo
Image by Penny from Pixabay
The original photo of a sulphur-crested cockatoo. It's a white bird with a gray, hooked beak, and a pair of bright yellow crests curling upward on the back of its head. It's sitting on a branch in dappled sunlight, a branch of leaves just over its head. The distant background is out-of-focus leafy branches. A watercolor painting of the bird in the photo. The background has been simplified to be mostly white with a couple of light impressions of leaves above the bird's head.

Day 11. Arctic tern

A few days behind, but slowly making my way through #birdtober 🪶

Terns are one of my favorite seabirds to observe. I love how sleek and streamlined they look. It’s so fun watching them dive for fish.

#Birdtober Day 16: Pygmy Nuthatch

I have drawn all my nuthatches in various states of upside-down, so I thought maybe this one should be at least sort of right-side up 😆

I always draw female kingfishers because I like when the female is the more colorful one!

I put a lot of work into this A4 drawing, but damaged the paper around the edge when I removed the masking tape. So I'm selling this one for less than I should be.

A drawing using a mix of media on A4 acid free paper. The drawing shows two blackbirds, one male and one female among autumn rowan berries and leaves with a blue background. The drawing has an illustrative feel with white outline on the main subjects. PLEASE NOTE: The paper has been slightly damaged by the removal of masking tape and is being sold at a reduced price as a result. see photos for details. This will be barely noticeable when framed. An original art work, please note that the frame is not included. Colour pencil and mixed media on acid free toned artist paper Size A4 (210 x 297mm / 8.3 x 11.7")

#Birdtober Day 14: Costa's Hummingbird

I didn't quite get the effect I was going for with the gorget, but what colors! I also like how it looks like the heron's trying to eat the hummingbird, and the pheasant is like "you can't sit with us"

A small drawing of two robins on tree branches in winter, with falling snow. The drawing is on grey pastel paper. The UK's favourite bird. Thanks to its bright red breast, it's familiar throughout the year and especially at Christmas. Males and females look identical. An original art work, please note that the frame is not included. Colour pencil and mixed media on acid free toned artist paper 5 by 7 inches (12.7 by 17.8 cm).
