Wildlife Art, Nature, Bird, Botanical "HUMMERBIRD WITH LOBSTER CLAW HELICONIA" The Art of Nature, Fine Art by Mindy Lighthipe


This painting is a combination of watercolor pencils and colored pencils. I used all kinds of experimental techniques during this painting. The background was done by "painting" with baby oil! I was very happy with the way it turned out. It is part of a lesson I teach on my online classes, Experimenting with Colored Pencil.

Wildlife Art, Bird, Heron, Nature, Printmaking “Green Heron” The Art of Nature, Fine Art by Mindy Lighthipe

The Green Heron is one of my favorite birds to spot on the river while I am kayaking here in Florida. They often can be spotted along the shore or wading in the water fishing. They are much smaller than their relatives the Great Blue Heron but I think they are much prettier. This is a black & white hand-pulled solar etching. I have also done one that is hand colored after the printmaking process. You can message me if you are interested in a color rendition.

I was smitten with the color on this scallop shell and I knew immediately I had to draw it. I experimented with using PanPastels and colored pencil on a tinted paper by Stonehenge. It was really fun to work on and I plan on doing more of them!
