coloring on canvas

So, it has been two months since I sketched this bird onto canvas, thinking that any day I would pull out my paints and paint it... Finally after two months of never finding the time to paint it, I decided the other night to try out my Copic markers on the canvas and see how they worked.

 Although you can see the marker strokes in the background I am happy with how it turned out.  Tallulah even said it looked better than the original (it's so nice having a 5 year old around who thinks you've hung the moon).

You can see my inspiration piece in this photo.
