I bought these little unfinished bird houses at the local craft store when they went on sale (70 cents a piece!). I got one of each style, six in total.
I LOVE Swedish folk art and have painted it here and there over the years. I wanted to buy these mini bird houses and try my hand at some free hand. Here we go. I love these little buds, so this first house is just that...
I used Ivory, Wedgewood Blue, Poppy Orange, Antique Gold, Leaf and Hunter Green. All free handed, NO line art...which is what I usually do. I will sketch lightly in pencil on my piece before I ever put paint to anything. It is a comfort thing for me...I HATE having to redo anything, and I am the pickiest person I know. And I think it turned out quite nice. Simple. Love it...Wonder who will end up with this cutesy little birdie house???
