did somebody say parrot?In case you didn't notice, the jungle theme is taking the fashion & home industry by storm this summer. From banana leaves and tropical ferns, to wild cheetahs and lazy sloths - this trend is fun, fun, fun! I'm inspired by the whimsical nature of forest birds like the good ol' Blue Macaw! This vibrant bird stands out amongst the green forest with it's primary colored feathers. I've been testing out different mediums and lately, watercolor is at the top of my list. I really enjoyed painting this illustration because I tried a new technique while I was painting. I applied a gum arabic resist to the paper first before applying my paint, which really allowed me to capture the silhouette of the bird. What do you think of my interpretation of the Blue Macaw? Do you think the jungle trend will extend itself into 2019? Please comment or question, I love hearing feedback from my readers!
