Description
Watercolor chickadees on branches with red berries, by Conni Schaftenaar.
A pair of winter-loving chickadees perch in a tree offering luscious red berries for their winter repast. The original watercolor, also on my gallery, has Payne's Gray and Quin. Red, with a tiny touch of Cerulean in the background and some Raw Sienna for the buff-colored undersides of the birds. In this version, I retained only the black and white with the Quin. red showing.
2024 Update: I dearly wish I could share an image here of a sweatshirt design I was able to do for a friend using this painting! I was able to "wrap" the whole painting around the shirt so that the upper left and the bird on the left were on the right sleeve and chest of the sweatshirt and the bird on the right and lower right area wrapped around the back and onto the left sleeve. She is totally thrilled with it, as am I! I use a manufacturer that has a template for shirts that allowed me to do this, and I used Photoshop to place the painting on the areas of the shirt on their template, making myself paper samples to make sure the right areas were matching up sleeve to chest to back, etc.
