Illustrations for a Field Guide to the Birds of Romania 4.
This painting required a very precise sketching. So before starting to work I made a photo with the birding equipments: spotting scope, binocular, field guide books, notebook, digital camera, GPS tracker, head lamp. After finishing with the laborious sketching, I started to apply the colors and shades for every object. Finally I’m done with this still life painting.
Size: A4 , watercolour painting
Field guide
Finnaly I got from the print-house the first field guide illustrated by me. This field guide was edited within the project “Systematic environmental education program in Mures County”, started in autumn 2007 by Milvus Group. My role was to illustrate the birds and design the book. There are some pictures of the fieldguide.
The illustrations was made in water-color technic and tunned up in Photoshop :) I’ll show here some bird illustrations:
