My back is still being cranky so I am mostly doing not much of anything but read and watch the hummingbirds through the window. This is annoying as I was really enjoying working with the alcohol ink but I will get back to it in a few weeks, I'm sure. And when I do, I will use some of my bird photos as a starting point. So today, I'm sharing some of the ones I'm considering. I'm mostly looking for a good silhouette altho if it's a stunning bird shot, I may just interpret it in ink.
First up, my favorite Steller's Jay photo. Part of what I'm doing while not in the studio is learning my new photo software (Affinity) and I'll be creating a layer off this photo with lines that can be used as a silkscreen.
And of course I have to have a Great Blue Heron shot. So many choices. Here's a flying heron that I love because of the water background. I think the alcohol ink will be great for doing that background. If I use this one, I'll probably crop it in but that will be a balancing act between focusing on the heron and keeping enough of the water to give that spacious feeling.
The other candidate is one taken at Tennant Lake in April so we joked about the heron keeping social distance from us on the boardwalk.
This one is more of a classic standing pose and that's always a popular choice.
