Blue-winged Pitta
4x6” on paper
Day 1 of my birdtober challenge to paint one bird for every day of October.
These study paintings helped me explore various birds found around the world. Daily painting practice always to helps refine skill and improve observation. I enjoyed becoming more familiar with these beautiful birds. I practiced implementing a balance of accuracy, and creation of art through value, just enough detail, and loose brushwork of water and colour. My hope is that they bring the outdoors inside your home and instill a love and reverence for God’s incredible creations.
Each painting is 4x6”, painted on 140lb watercolour paper.
Here are some Blue-winged Pitta facts for you to enjoy….
Location found: Brunei, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam. Also has been found to be vagrant in Australia, Christmas Island, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Length: 7-8”
Lifespan: In Captivity, they usually live up to 10-17 years, but lifespan up to 23 years has been recorded.
Fun fact: At breeding time, the blue-winged pitta builds a large nest, usually on the ground, made of twigs, roots, grasses, leaves and mosses
