Aussie Birds

I have decided to do a series of Australian Birds to start the year off. They are created using water colour pencils, ink and acrylic paint. As we have so many species here in Australia, I think it might take me a while to get them  all done.

1.  Macca The Magpie

 

 2. Bindie The Budgie

3. Cheeky the Cockatiel

4. Eric the Eclectus
