I have been using some 24 carat gold leaf recently in my work , and trying to find ways to gently add it , as it is such an over powering medium , it can easily overwhelm your artwork .
I've been working on a series of nest studies . Bird's nests have always fascinated me , I think it is just amazing how birds manage to weave the intricate structures with their beaks .
Below are a few photos of both finished works , works in progress and sketches .
I should say the sketches were done from nests that were set up at a local museum , you shouldn't disturb a nesting bird .
