Western Meadowlark (Male) with Nodding Thistle

Western Meadowlark (M) with Nodding Thistle by Kathy Peterson: a complete Lesson Plan which includes 4 color photos, line drawing, graphite paper, and step by step instructions for completing each "part" of the bird. Kathy uses a systematic method of teaching bird painting so you can learn the techniques to paint any bird. Oh the birdseed is my Grandmother's idea - just to make you laugh!!

"The Western Meadowlark is another of my favorite songbirds. It's beautiful bright yellow feathers just make you want to paint them. So I enhanced the Meadowlark with the bright purple thistles to complete the color balance."

Hope you enjoy it! Finished painting: 8 x 10"
