Borneo Rainforest Treasure

The Pittas, they have a special place in my heart.  Since my first bird commission painting of Pitta Paradise by the multi awards Borneo Rainforest Lodge in Danum Valley Conservation Area, Sabah; I was even more intrigued by birds and their nature- there has been many Birds painted, it could have been interesting to keep the numbers!

Today I felt for getting back to the basis of the painting process.. And it's an enjoyable one.
I begin with studies of an Endemic Borneo Pitta- Blue Headed Pitta in graphite drawing, followed by pen then a watercolor sketch.
