Birdwatching Trip to Kerkini lake and Evros delta

I`m just back from Greece guiding a German birders group to Kerkini Lake and Evros Delta.New experiences for me visiting places, watching many beautiful birds and meeting wonderful people! I`m particularly grateful to Hartmut M. Bartmeise-Reisen, for trusting me, and of course to many friends there. I feel lucky to be there in spring time and that despite the limited time I was able to do some fieldwork

Thylacine or Tasmanian tiger -The adventure of a study

..The Thylacine is a legendary species which lived in Australia and Tasmania and seems that is already extinct, since there is no credible evidence that the animal still exist for decades now. Attached, my efforts to depict the animal, starting with the initial pencil drawing , and showing the process step by step to the finished pen drawing. Eventually , I noticed several mistakes on his anatomy, decided to revise the image, started a couple of watercolours, and managed to complete at least one . Forgot to mention that videos taken in Hobart zoo( Tasmania) in the 30`s of last century have been a great help while creating my image. The finished watercolour , I managed eventually to complete  

Thylacine painting

Extinct animals and birds are still among my favorites, and the Tasmanian tiger is surely one of them. I did start one more painting depicting the animal and though I was pleased with the background the tiger seemed to be very big for the size, with wrong proportions and facial expression. I decided to remove the tiger and repainted it over the background but much smaller. Surely not my best attempt but I know that I`ll be able to create a much better painting one day.

This is my third attempt to sketch Dürer`s self portrait on location and to my opinion the most successful one. Sketched in the old masters gallery(Alte Pinakothek) today in the morning. Sepia Fineliners & Pens
