An Experiment from Roxy. . . .

[Bev S.]

Perhaps I have confused some of you buy using my "real" name, but yes, I am really the old Roxy!!
Here is something I was experimenting with just for fun. . .Coloured Pencils on Mylar Film. That's the stuff engineers and geologists and other professional types draw on. My hubby has a great huge roll of it lying around from his days of drawing maps, so I started playing with it and this is the result.

Details

Since Mylar is a translucent plastic, you can put any coloured paper behind it and presto, you have a different BG. In fact, you can even draw on the back and draw in your own BG. . .slick eh?

WOW!!  Awesome experimenting Bev!!....Roxy!!    An awesome job, and the detail is super. Looks like he'd fly right off the page.

  THANK YOU to everyone; Val, Jill, Batman, Jennylynn, Zayn, Nolan and Bella!
I'm so happy that you all like my little experiment. He is actually the first in a series of three little birds I'm planning on doing. I hope the next two turn out okay. Mylar is quite fun to work on, as it has almost no tooth and the colours blend quite easily. It erases like a dream and will take a royal beating before it gives up.
I have to have something to occupy my time while I wait impatiently for January to get here and for Nolan's new classes to start. . . .what better way to pass the time? Sketch out a whole bunch of projects and then go for it!!!!

This is just so beautiful Bev! The fine, delicate detailing is just gorgeous - such a pretty birdie 
I love the way the colors glow on the head feathers....

Bev/Roxy,

Wow, Double WOW!  Your little bird is so beautifully done - so delicate.  The pine (or is it spruce) on the branch is so nicely done, too.

I want more of these!!

Roxy, James Audobon would be jealous.  So gorgeous!!!

[Bev S.]

Oh my, oh my you are much too kind but I'm loving all the praise! 
   Denise. . there are about 5 different colours in that little head, and about 5 hours of work too! The snow might just be a shredded white napkin. . . . who knows!!!!!
   Mea. . it's an evergreen tree of some sort and some very, very sharp pencils were used!!
   Lynn. . what a lovely thing to say!! Thank you so much!!!

  I have just seen this Chickadee Roxy!  Sorry, but you will always be fun loving, comical "Roxy" to me.  It is just too gorgeous for words and you have done a wonderful job. The detail is outstanding.  I hope that a Cardinal features somewhere in your next bird paintings.  They are so special to me for I love their brilliant colour. Lovely to see your work Roxy. It feels like old times.   Patricia
