The Tropical Tree Project
 More birdsBirds have been slowly been emerging and with lots more to come it is looking colourful! |  Finally painting the first bird!Thanks to Lynne for taking the plunge with painting the first bird. It is taking two coats to cover the blue |  ProjectingHere you can see the blue canvas stapled to Jane's studio wall, the bright blue and the birds are being projected onto the blue background |
|---|---|---|
 Drawing up the birdsHere you can see Jane drawing the birds up from the projector |  1st draft: birds with blueAssembling the birds and then placing them on a blue background was the starting point |  1st Draft: Real Keralan treesThe birds need trees and I took these especially for the project when I was in Kerala |
 1st Draft: green backgroundIn this you can see that I have traced some of the leaves from the Keralan photos. This was easier when the birds were positioned |  1st Draft: with no colour behindIt is possible to have no background colour so this is this version |  1st Draft: with greenSo many possibilities! This is with green behind the birds and the photos. Then I saw all of the other birds I had forgotten on this page!!! gulp.... |

TROPICAL BIRD PROJECT
We have a wall measuring 1.40m x 1m at Heene Community Centre that is very bare. We aim to change that with our colourful bird project. Each bird and piece of foliage will be assembled onto canvas and painted in acrylic to build a colourful tree with a variety of birds.
