Today's illustration is titled:

The return of the crow to his home.

MY MATERIALS.

The materials I used on this occasion were: watercolor, pen, India ink, acrylic white, my watercolor brushes, on FABRIANO cardboard, Panasonic camera, LUMIX FZ47 brand, Adobe Photoshop digitizing program, for digital modifications and Power Point, to convert the images to jpg format.

STEP BY STEP PROCESS.

Friend spectator, curator and faithful follower of my artistic works, today I want to show you the procedure for carrying out this illustrative work, where the freedom of this crow's being is noted, in each brushstroke and stroke of the flight in the landscape, which I made in the following way.

THE BEGINNING.

Starting from the impact of the spatula impregnated with black acrylic showing the first expanded stain in the center of the support, my creativity begins artistic.

Look carefully my dear friends, because from this moment on the initial stain will be transformed into a bird, thanks to the drawing work done with a spatula and brushes, also in the lower part of the support a linear stain obtained by the action of black ink and the wash technique, was forming part of the landscape and vegetation on the distant horizon.

Using the watercolor technique and a small amount of I was staining the space, with some white acrylic I was improving the silhouette of the bird (crow), giving the tones of light and brightness to some feathers, also I clarified the central part of the sky of the landscape, also began to give delicate details to the bird such as the coloring of the beak and its legs with orange color, and with pink and magenta the flowers were incorporated into the distant bushes.

Observe how the illustration.

Incorporating white clouds in the sky with white acrylic, as well as the movement of the river water, made with very faint and somewhat wavy lines, to simulate the movement of the riverbed.

More light to the crow, the beak and legs of the crow are now more defined, the lights and the bushes are reflected in the water of the river. the lower part of the landscape, and if you look very closely at the progress of the illustration, you will be able to notice the body of the clouds in the sky, because some pink and very pale yellow were added over a light grey tone, which creates the transparency and the body of the clouds.

A sun made with the airbrushing technique of the digital program Adobe Photoshop, in shades of strong yellow and white in the middle of the sunset sky, bathing the bushes in the distance with light, and marking their reflection in the waters of the river...

Each of these details,
give rise to a beautiful illustration entitled:

The return of the crow to his home.

Well, friends, viewers, curators and faithful followers, I hope you liked the painting of the crow's return to his home, remembering his beloved family and looking at the path of the sun. For me, they are charming and mischievous animals when they are just chicks, and if they are raised in a family, they become an incredible pet.

Thank you very much for your kind attention.

A hug, I love you very much.
