Every year when it comes to be around Christmas time I start working on a painting to give as a present to someone in my family. I'm not an amazing painter but I can do a little with a brush and canvas. Specifically every year I paint a picture of a bird. This year I'm doing a Kingfisher. I chose it because of it's brilliant colors and form.
I found this picture online to base my painting off of.
Here is the canvas after I sketched out the picture.
Here is the canvas fully painted.
