WIP Peacock Bird Art Original Painting Work in Progress + Sketches of Big Eye Angels Fairies Maidens & Flowers / August 4-10 / Art Sketch Daily...

For the month of August I will be offering a free random rough sketch included with any original art order on my website lisarusso.com!  I plan on making some adjustments in pricing and content on my website, so now is an excellent time to take a look...

In this original acrylic painting of a peacock, I've been making solid progress on the feathers.  I've started to work on the crest and face, then I'll move on to the neck...  I'll eventually do highlights with the gold leafing paint near the very end of the painting.  The canvas that I'm painting on is 11"x14" 

This is a work in progress, but I also usually post at least one finished piece on Tuesdays if you'd like to come to visit!  You also may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.

I'm joining in this week with Paint Party Friday.  To see more participants, please visit:

August 4-10 Sketches

Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  She has an expression of joy...  I think she is most likely a fairy angel, although she could also be a mermaid or a goddess.  I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.

I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in August. This is from day 4.
