There's a lot of bird life around the Curtin Springs Property, some the birds also live my home town in coastal SE Queensland, some I've never seen before.
The Australian Magpie is already one of my favourites and has featured in many of my prints already. But this is the first time I've sketched one from my own photo.
It took a few goes to get it right, I worked in pencil first then went over it in black pen, then finished with watercolours.

I've borrowed some bird books and plant id
books so I can add botanical information
in my sketchbook. |
