Al’s Birdhouse – Cedarburg Plein Air QUICK Paint

Al’s Birdhouse watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci

Day Four – Quick Paint = 2.5 hours of insanity … can you imagine that in this crazy timeframe you complete a painting from start to finish, including framing and dropping the painting off before the clock ticks down to 0. But I did it!

This watercolor is my Ode to Al’s Birdhouses! Al Buss is a Grafton, WI artist who designs, constructs and carves the most fabulous birdhouses I have ever seen. Every piece is meticulously put together. I love his work and I thought it would be a great choice for a quick paint. The contrast of the blue spruce against the warm colored wood and copper was just beautiful hanging in the yard.

Wren House Watercolor

Wren House watercolor (Framed 15 x 17) by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (sold)

This little wren house is a larger version of a previous watercolor. I used this as a demo for a watercolor workshop. It is always helpful to see how another artists develops a painting from start to finish when you’re taking a class. Each week I would demonstrate different techniques. It was a lot of fun!

Happy Wrens Watercolor

Happy Wrens Watercolor By Yvonne Pecor Mucci

This wren birdhouse has hung in our backyard for years. My father-in-law made this and my daughter painted it when she was very young. The wren’s sing to each other all day.

This is a small study (6 x 8) which I did to figure out color and composition for a larger version. I had the pleasure of painting with a friend and she suggested trying her favorite watercolor paper – 140lb Cold Press, Fabriano Artistico. I love the way this paper took on a lot of water letting the pigments be manipulated for a longer period of time. Lifting color was quick and easy. Now I am looking forward to working on the larger painting.

Birdhouses Watercolor

Dad’s Birdhouses (Framed 18 x 24) By Yvonne Pecor Mucci (sold)

My father built these birdhouses. They are a source of entertainment while we sit and talk in the gazebo. I love the whimsy of it along with the bright colors, but mostly I painted this scene because it makes me happy.

The build below shows under washes of lemon yellow and permanent rose to create interest in the sky. Multiple glazes of cerulean, cobalt and ultramarine were used before the clouds were lifted.
