Painting Birds This little Blue Tit was sketched in coloured pencil, which was quick and easy to do, no messing with paint brushes or water. Pencils leave nice feather markings too and easy to mix and blend colours. They are active little birds, real acrobat’s, fun to watch and will always come to bird tables and readily nest in nest boxes throughout the garden.

The great tit is bigger than the blue tit, and has more vibrant colours with a blue-black head, with white under cheeks. A black mark runs down its' middle front. They also like to feed in the same way visiting same habitats as the blue tit. Again painted with colour pencils.
